Yep, they were png files; I did find the problem: I was looking for something complex and wasted 3 days exploring all these avenues, when the simple truth was that I had forgotten to correctly size the images. I started with a 600 dpi pdf page, converted it to gray-scale tif, cut out the image from the text, and saved the image as the master tif file. Then I changed the resolution to 150 dpi and saved it as png for the epub, but forgot for those two images (although I did ok with the other 47) to also reduce the dimensions in inches to a value that an ereader could use - duh!

At least I'm happy with the Sony PRS-950 with the neat touch screen, etc. etc. - my only gripe is the lack of user changeable battery.
