I for one replace all of the maps in my books with the highest resolution ones I can find, and I also replace the cover by one which is 1000 pixels high at least, if I can find it. If there is one thing I don't care about, then it's file size.
I too have replaced the mapwith a higher resolution map if I can find such. I have had to split the map in two in order to get it all on screen and readable on an 800x600 screen. But the map then was much clearer and easier to see/read.

As for covers, I usually try to find a cover on Amazon. Amazon usually uses a size of 1500 lines witch for Reader with a high resolution of 1430x1080 or 1600x1200, that 1500 line cover will work very well.

I also use Toxaris' ePUBOptimizer in order to reduce the size of the images. It removes some of the extra gunk in the images without changing the compression and quality of the images.
