Alternatively I think you might be able to convert JPEG to TIFF which is 
internally native to Open Book.

.Hi, Lenny,
.
.I've got the same problem you have only mine's work related.  I'm
.afraid there's not much you can do about that.  I usually end up
.printing these files out (they're called screen shots hereabouts) and
.just taking them home to read with OpenBook.  However, I have a
.theoretical fix for it that I just haven't had the chance to put into
.practice.  If the .jpg format could be converted to .pcx format and if
.you have open book, you could tell openbook that there's a fax file
.which needs to be recognized and rendered into text.  Has anyone ever
.done this before?
.
.Thanks.
.
.Alex
