You're coming from the world of high-speed, reasonably priced home internet. The entire world is not that fortunate.

I've started online at 300bps with a dial-up modem. Then 1200bps modem, 19200bps, 56k, some awful DSL (dropped a lot), cable, and now full fiber.
So I know what it's like to wait for data to download. I used to use Usenet over dial-up.
Most people do not have an Internet connection that's too slow to download an image heavy eBook. And if they do, they can go to the library and use their Internet connection.
