Oh, cool -- never heard of Redium, just did a quick search on it, but if I understand correctly it's a browser extension for Google Chrome? And so I would also have to convince them to change their browser, too? Not sure how well that would go over with the old farts -- it took me years to convince my mom, for example, to go with Firefox instead of IE, I'm not sure how enthused she would be to now switch to Chrome, simply to read ebooks (when I did manage to get her to install ADE... which she never uses anyway other than to look at the books I make).
I've been thinking about this, actually, and was considering doing up two versions of my book -- one for the iBooks store, with the higher-res images, and then do up another version with lo-res ones to give out to others that might be looking at it on their computers. Plus the latter might be emailable as well (re filesize), which the hi-res version definitely isn't (it's already up to 42 megs in size, and still growing -- indeed, I'm currently in the process of adding in a "book within a book" to my book!).
