Greyscale vs Color

Out of curiosity, I converted five of the Audubon images to grey scale (B&W) as suggested by Ripplinger to see if there was a significant difference in how they looked on the Sony Reader. The file size is slightly smaller (although the impact on overall device memory is negligible), but the images might have slightly better contrast. Judge for yourself.

BTW, these Audubon images are public domain, and so use as you please.
They also work on the Sony PRS-650, but you should crop them as desired.
