I'm guessing that it would be better to use text instead of the png since the text will always scale nicely?
A lot of commercial (and otherwise) books use a sometimes poor scan of the title page. If that is set to fill the screen it is reasonable enough.

But I do think text would be preferable. If the font is reasonably close, I don't see that it would be objectionable.
