What does this mean?

This popped up in the terms of a recent sale (not unhappy, good price). Does anyone know what the boldface phrase means? It's too much for my tiny brain.

I think it means that the pics are within pages. The pages are downloadable but not the images on their own. 

 

Thanks, that makes sense.

 

However, it then says that POD rights are included.

Maybe the image can be used in a PDF file that's no more than 150 dpi, and users can print out the page.

It doesn't seem to be uncommon these days with textbooks.

Amazon and others offer an ebook printing service to generate paperback copies for the author/publisher.  I would assume that the POD rights cover this.

Thanks very much for the replies. I'm starting to get the picture, so to speak.

OK, you can have the last word on that.
