As the reader points out, this causes the source code not to work with JPEG files from digital cameras that do not use the JFIF format. The difference between these formats is simply the use of APPn markers (essentially comments).To make the book source code work with these files you simply need to comment out one line of code -- the place where it checks for the existance JFIF header.
