I agree that without a lot human proofreading scanned/photographed books make lousy ePub documents. However they make very good PDF documents that provide a starting point and a source if you wanted to create your own ePub version.
I downloaded all of Charles Dickens works with the original illustrations. There are also a ton of other illustrated books on Internet Archive and some are absolutely beautiful. If you have a large screen reader like a Kindle DX the site is well worth your while. If you want to produce your own ePub version (and don't mind a lot of work) the site is worth your while as well.
