Doesn't ePub allow for photos? I've seen photos inside of ePub books before, for instance the free Pooh book that comes with iBooks.

Is there a way to string together each page (which is one photo) into an ePub book then?

Maybe this is too cumbersome an approach..

thanks for your thoughts

PS - since this isn't about viewing PDFs, but I just took a tangent to ask questions - please post in the new thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=876244 to keep it together with a proper subject (sorry for the double post guys)
