Please see my edited post. I think the idea that they're now customising the images for the device that the device is being delivered to is far more likely. Ie have a core file that's delivered to all devices with the text of the book, and an auxiliary file containing images and other items that are device-dependent. We know that the book's image are now being delivered in a separate file and that fits in very well with Enhanced Typesetting.
