I just meant that leaving it as a pdf is a reasonable option without any conversion. Usually pdf formats are denigrated here, as it is a terrible ebook format.

As far as conversion goes, no matter what format you select, you are either going to keep the image unchanged (and hope that the reader has a large screen or zoom capability), or you are going to resize the image, with the possible loss of text legibility in the resizing process. For non-text images, resizing is normal and isn't likely to significantly reduce the ability to read the book.

I would guess that if it's a PDF, even converting in to epub in Calibre, the text can't go anywhere because it's part of the image at that point.
Conversion of an image-only pdf with image-text doesn't usually work very well. If it's something like a comic-pdf, I usually leave it in that form.
