Both Photoshop, Illustrator and Elements has a "save for web" function, that works quite well (at least in the versions CS2 and Elements 8 - I don't have anything newer, so correct me, if I'm wrong.) Theres a plugin for GIMP that performs the same service

IMHO it is usually not necessary to save in print quality for ebooks.
