JS, you're free to have your preferences on every subject under the sun. Really, you are. But when the topic is whether or not to add a feature to a plugin, or modify how an existing one works, saying "I have no interest in that feature" only clutters the conversation.

That's doubly true when making an observation that has already been made and agreed with: that this particular change would fit better in the "send to device" module (changing the copy on that one device) rather than in a module that alters the archive (changing it for all future use). There is value in the idea of sending a grayscale cover to a grayscale device - primarily in that grayscale images are much more compact, so such a change would permit more books to fit on the device - so while you or I may not mind the "hit" of sending full color to such devices, it's perfectly reasonable that others would want a way to change that.

Personally, I'd love a smoother, more automatic way to use the color picker to change the cover page's background color - but I'm perfectly aware that this is a very niche desire, so there's not much to be gained by saying so. Thus, I keep my trap shut and use the existing tool to get what I'm after.
