Now that you mention it, I do remember thinking that, after hearing the specs of the Kindle 2, it would be more useful to have 16 shades of gray than 4 shades. However, even though PDFRead's 'prc-mobi' profile may currently have the Kindle 1's (and Cybook Gen 3's) color depth, the final colors can be overriden by entering '16' in the GUI input box for Colors. See the attached sample and open it up using the software Mobipocket Reader. The .jpg quality is currently poor due to Mobiperl's desire to downgrade the images to the 63K Palm limitation. I really should fix that!

Also, I was wondering how this handles picture heavy pdf documents, I have several technical pdfs which are scans of actual documents that I would like to carry around with me, would I be better off using this tool or converting the pdf into a folder of jpegs?

Well, you know that PDFRead just produces a bunch of (cropped/enchanced/rotated/etc.) .jpgs and wraps them up in a .html listing of same which gets feed to Mobiperl's (modified) html2mobi. If you want the .jpgs to remain either use the 'debug' empty file trick in the PDFRead install directory or choose 'html' as an Out Format. Either way, you'll get a folder of .jpgs!
