I'm a condensed matter physicist who, despite a decade's experience with LaTeX, still has an awful lot of TeXnical details to learn.

comment How to avoid mangled covers in the image optimization process of online publishers?
The Wikipedia article is a good place to start - it goes through a miniature example of the gory details in the section entitled "Discrete cosine transform" linked to above. Is this the sort of thing you're after?

This looks like a jpeg compression artefact to me. In this case the "simpler" you try to go the worse things will become, because the algorithm is designed for photographs and throws away the high-frequency Fourier components needed to produce sharp edges on text. Of course this means that jpeg compression of text is just a bad idea, but if Amazon does it automatically that's probably not much comfort to you!
