I just wanted to add that latest version of the "Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines" PDF (updated 1/2014) kindlegen.s3.amazonaws.com/AmazonKindlePublishingGuidelines.pdf can be downloaded for free from the Amazon site. This last revision contains a lot of updated recommendations for images.

With the recent guidelines Amazon has changed their philosophy a bit on images (and that is good). Kindlegen performs automatic image conversions, so the guidelines suggest that you can use images of up to 5mb for interior images.

As it happens, I'm currently trying to convert my interior jpg images to svg for reasons of scalability. Amazon's support of SVG seems "adequate" now -- although SVGs are their own kind of beast.
