hi
i have a custom news script that downloads from a source with lots of images. given that the feed is intended to be viewed under my kindle that can only handle black and white, there's no need for big pictures with 24bit color. is there any way to reduce color depth and image size while processing the feeds?
the ideal way would be to have an option in .mobi output that allows "convert to gray scale" or "resize image to..."

any comments?
