I agree... which is why I lean more towards higher resolution images in the books (I mean, we should abandon that crappy < 600px x 800px, it is pathetically small on these higher resolution devices).

I say make the source image as close to original as possible (do all your editing THERE), then shrink down if needed. A smaller/medium resolution image can always be generated from the source... although maybe I just don't know what I am doing. (I have zero art skills).

I mostly deal with charts/graphs/tables though, so my life is easier than dealing with illustrations/photographs. I can always recreate these as vector art, so I can scale to whatever size is needed.
