theducks was suggesting an SVG wrapper around a JPEG or PNG image. You don't need to use an SVG image.

But depending on how complex the vector SVG image is, it will be somewhere between much smaller and much larger than the same image rasterized to PNG ot JPEG.

So, if the SVG image is smaller, you can consider using the SVG image in the ebook, except that I think most reading software won't work for cover images that are SVG and quite a few don't have good support for SVG images.
