My daughter is drawing the illustrations for Fairies and Fireflies. I'm going to have to get them scanned - I assume at 300 DPI so I can insert them in the file for the paper book. Do I then reduce them to 72 (or 96) dpi for kindle files? jpg or png format?

and some of the illustrations go in the middle of a Scrivener scene (each story in the collection is its own scene) - How do I insert the graphic where I want it to be? Just copy/paste? or do I have to put them in the Scrivener Resources folder and call the graphic from there?

I can illustrate the paper book no problem - I've done that kind of thing a lot before. I'm really not sure how to set things up so the graphic will show to best advantage in epub or mobi format.

The graphics are B&W pencil and ink sketches, if that matters.
