There's plenty of information about this in section 3.6 of the Kindle Publishing Guidelines. To sum up:

use .jpg for photos
use .gif for line-art and text
use HTML over images whenever possible. "If an image contains whole paragraphs of text, it should not be an image. Instead, it should be HTML."
all images should be 300 dpi
images should be color when possible and relevant
you can also use .bmp, non-transparent .png, and .svg

Personally, I avoid .png when possible, as they seem to end up substantially larger than .jpg files.
