This is a limitation in the PalmReader format. Images have to be in PNG format, and are limited to a size of 65505 bytes. The actual uncompressed displayed image can be bigger, but the original file must not be bigger than 65505 bytes.

It's a serious limitation. It was originally due to the Palm database records size limit. Yet it didn't stop Mobipocket from going around that limitation.

PalmReader has the user-friendliest DRM, but the worst format. Mobipocket has the best format, but like Microsoft, the worst DRM.

I doubt the Song of Fire and Ice images are (legally) available anywhere online.
