https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/ma...-of-tom-sawyer
noticed that all there eBooks seem to be missing the books images, not in only text compared to Gutenberg's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete by Mark Twain link included here.

which you can download a ebook with images included its bigger is size like either 15.7 MB or 35.6 MB kindle version, which I would recompress the images with calibre ebook or azw kindle editor compress lossy with jpeg option, in any case, these standard ebook format does seem to have a nice format but they don't seem to include the images like a real paperback or hardback book would have included in them. my other problem with this format I don't no if it matter but if you use the editors check book feature it finds a bunch of error like for example it finds 6 errors total for the standard book format I downloaded

I had download its
Advanced epub — An advanced format that uses the latest technology not yet fully supported by most ereaders. -- not sure how the standard Compatible epub — All devices and apps except Kindles and Kobos. this one may not have errors in the editor didn't test it yet, but it also from the size of the book is missing the images from the Gutenberg one that includes the images, I like the idea of the standard eBooks but not sure which ones if any have images included and the ones that don't include the images, I have to search for more eBooks to see if any of them include the images that the other free book version not crazy about Gutenberg eBook formatting but I do like the fact that they included the images with some the eBooks and how they show the downloads with eBooks with images and eBooks without images under the download links I liked that fact that they have them listed with and without them under the title pages. Gutenberg formatting is not proper compared to a real books with images , standard eBooks look more proper formatted but for example this eBook is missing its images under that format, also besides text formatting matter to me , so does the placement of the images on the pages with the text that matter too I think anyway. sometimes I don't mind a book without images other times I like having the images included it depends on the story or book. the book for example mark twain should include some images, since its kind of a kids book, most kids don't like books without images in it that simple a fact, so for example titles like mark twain should include some of the images either old or updated images,
I do feel like kids will not read this standard eBook format if they don't include the images, of course that depends on the kid, but when I was little I didn't like books at all without images in them. same rules applied for eBooks formatted for kids to read this should include the images otherwise most kids will not read this eBook I think maybe its a standard that should be seen in this way I would think.
when searching for either Project Gutenberg ebooks under calibre's get books feature, it will automaticly download the version with images, but again if used to get the same books under standard ebooks format it then seems to download this one without the images, also noticed that project gutenberg does not list it as the publisher but under standard ebooks it will input it as the title as the publisher which i would think that correct maybe, going to search for more standard ebooks format to see if they include images with other books or books that would fit into a catagory like mark twain which is kind of a kids book, since its nice for example but anyway either way downloading with calibre under get books you have no idea if the book has or does not have images, you can't tell from what I can see if there is a icon that shows a image included with the download text I can't see that under get books, maybe a feature they should include in the future for the software.
