You never know what resolution e-readers 5 years from now will have. Maybe this 600x800 stuff will be considered "SD" in the future, like the 720x480 that DVDs have vs 1920x1080. So you should think about adding a bigger picture than the standard 600x800 res, even if it may take 0.8 extra seconds to display on first gen devices. If it's in black and white you may consider turning it into a vector image.
Some are opposed to using vector images (probably because of some older devices with dated firmwares which may or may not support it properly), but I think that it's clearly a better choice. They take up less space, support large zoom levels. What's not to like?

It probably won't work on you since you're the one who edited the image and saw the extra details. But on someone who never read the paperback version (or read it some time ago), chances are very high that they even won't notice.
