Using images to make chapter header fonts in Kindle (opinions?)

Hi guys,

Does anyone have an opinion with regards to using images to create chapter headers in Kindle? I'm interested in creating header text with non-default fonts, and this seemed like a potential idea.

Is it a bad idea? Clunky? Passable? Workable?

Any help would be great !

Argh...

Just as I was starting to really like this idea, I read that Kindle's "text-to-speech" does not "read aloud" alt tags, thereby making this very unfriendly for people who cannot see images. Is this true?

I don't want to make a product that people with accessibility issues will have a hard time with.
