Still, if it has sharp, clean edges, PNG may be better suited. Try saving the original as both PNG and JPG. If the PNG is not much larger than the JPG, always prefer the PNG, since it's lossless.

I'm still getting the same "resolution" problem using a png. I resized it to 980 x 1400 and still same problem. What you said makes sense though. I'll try messing around with it more tomorrow.
PNG or JPG should make no practical difference regarding resizing artifacts, and the only way to avoid them is to avoid resizing at all. Try with less than 800 height.

For the jpeg color I'm using Adobe RGB 1998, which is what Kindle recommends for mobis. I don't know what Nook or ADE recommend. Do you have a recommendation?
I have no idea, but I would guess ADE simply ignores any kind of embedded color profile or gamma information. So try saving without that .
