Yes, although many JPEGs are already smaller than 64 KB, and so far the examples I have seen don't look bad at 64 KB. For GIF images, MobiPocket instead makes the image itself smaller until it fits in 64 KB (which is a different loss in quality, arguably much worse). MobiPocket's primary legacy issue is the Palm format, but Plucker uses PDB and it allows larger images by splitting them across multiple records.
