Nah, jpeg will be larger. Palleted png will be really really light on file size (if it's just greyscale, 8 colour palette is good enough), and gif a few bytes smaller.

But none of those matter as they are always going to be decompressed for reading, and as such eat up a whole load of memory and be generally crap for performance (most 'good' readers cache a few past pages and the next page or two.). Problem readers, webkit-based reader apps/readers(since they don't really paginate) and some ADE bugs however will mean that the images just sit around in memory all the time, and depending on the reader can starve the rest of the OS/framework leading to sudden reboots or hangs. Fun times. Also really bad for load time.
