My text always looked bad when I jpg'd it. I'll look into it again, but the 
PNG might help

Alastair,

I have done similar to what Paul describes.  I designed a book in Quark, 
exported to PDF, opened in PSCS4, saved as jpg and dropped into 
Booksmart.  The book looked great.  Text was as expected, sharp and well 
printed as were the photos.
