Sure. It'd just take a *lot* of formatting work, including resizing the images. And, as I said, someone would need to make decisions, about picture sizes, layout, captions, footnotes, and other aspects. They'd even be fun decisions, for the right person. (I am not that person. I'm happy to help with the grunt work of formatting, but I'm rather lost when it comes to design decisions that aren't aimed at my particular preferences.)
I'm attaching a two-page excerpt as a sample (I'm assuming this goes under fair use of "quoting for review purposes"); the text and pictures are often built around each other like this, and some pages have pictures that cover almost the whole width of the page.
It couldn't retain its original layout for a small screen; it's definitely designed in coffeetable book style.
Converting it would be a wonderful project. I'd be happy to help; I wouldn't mind converting (or helping with converting) the PDFs to RTFs with styles properly tagged (I'm very inexperienced with HTML), and resizing the images (to what specs?) but I couldn't advise how to go from there.
