Anyway... good job so far and keep the improvements coming!
I removed image extraction for PDF input in 0.6. I did this because image extraction supported by pdftohtml (used for the conversion process) is very limited. Image extraction failed for the majority of my test books. Instead of fielding bug reports about issues with it, I removed it completely. Now if it is something you really want and something that you're okay with not working all that well, it's a 4 character change to have it supported again.
