I asked some questions about this in a thread recently however I thought I'd email Amazon directly to make sure the information was correct.

Here's their response:

Hello Kevin,

In response to your inquiries regarding images within content:

1) PNG is a supported format, however JPEG (.JPG) will convert best

2) 300 DPI is recommended

3) The width and height should be 600*800 pixel

4) The image size should be 127KB

5) Use the link to find more information on reducing the file size: https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=AQY9VBML4LKPK#decrease

I hope this helps! Thanks for using Amazon KDP.
