I get why MathML is not typically used, but I also never see MathML+JPGs. Too many of my books are just images. I get people want to support whatever Amazon is doing or that Sony reader from 2008 to squeeze out that extra sale but ideally ePub stores and creators would provide multiple options, a MathML version where it works, a SVG version and a crusty PNG version. Instead I get one version that is 10x larger and slower to use than a comparable PDF even though my device supports the latest features.
Sure--I get and respect that. Hell, I wish that they'd pay us to make 3 versions, too. Sadly, those cheap bastards who have to actually make the book PAY for their publishing efforts, don't want to pay us to make 3 versions that won't increase their sales. Silly greedy buggers. /s
