Karl Pilkington's An Idiot Abroad has about the same number of pics and weighs in at about 15mb for an ePub 13.5mb for a kindle book.
Still won't be making you any money though  |
800 x 600 is full screen, something you won't get for anything other than the cover image (which most people will never see anyway). So really you could drop down to a max of 500 pixels width and nobody would know any different. You could also make them greyscale for a standard Kindle, and maybe have a separate colour version at a higher price?
