I do the same (but only for KF8 where I can use SVG; old readers just get text).
It might be worth pointing out that if you have a PDF of the print edition, you can create a PDF containing only a single page by using pdftk. For example, to get page 13 as a separate PDF, you might do:
Code:
pdftk book.pdf cat 13-13 output titlepage.pdf
And then you can trivially convert that to SVG using Inkscape. For example, on OS X:
Code:
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/script --without-gui titlepage.pdf --export-plain-svg=titlepage.svg
You can also do
--export-png=titlepage.png for a MOBI7 fallback, if you want one.
