Perhaps, but the devices already download different covers to suit their screen size, so a colour device could download colour covers without the need to send them to greyscale devices.

The images inside the books are not changed, they have always been in colour. The greyscale covers that are downloaded from the server are used outside the book, e.g. on the sleep screen or as thumbnails in the library view. They are downloaded specially for each device so there is no need for them to be in colour if the device downloading them doesn't have a colour screen.
