In your edit, you completely missed that I said the same thing - just in more general terms - in the message right above yours.

My later point remains true, though. Even a "full" 256-gray image will be a much smaller file than a true-color image of the same dimensions, so sending a gray version would raise the number of books one can store on that device by a considerable factor... probably a more significant margin than the existing resize option permits. (True color is typically encoded as either three or four 256-level channels; grayscale only uses one.)
