Update - I'm experimenting with "Jarte" as an RTF creator. If I can get a
consistent procedure for scaling images, reducing them, putting them in

Dan makes excellent points regarding size, don't even try to create
documents with images with Newtscape if you exceed heap it is possible
to corrupt a card.

I used bitmap as the import format when I created books with images.
I also used a photo editing package and experimented with contrast,
brightness and saturation and when I found an image that looked good
on the newt I used is as a guide for other images.
