Virtually all my hi-res pics are 1200x1800, which came to by doubling-up the usual 600x900 size for epubs. But there was mention here that for my lo-res images (for Kindle) I should make them 600x800 -- which confused me.
So I went searching on the 'net about the size for a full-page image on Kindle, and in the process came upon some places that say 600x800, and then others that say 600x900. So which is it?
What's worse, though, is that I keep seeing references saying that the maximum filesize for Kindle images is 127kb -- really? How could I possibly have any of those higher-resolution images in my book if that's the case?
I'm really not sure what to do now -- can I even have hi-res images on Kindle? If not, that has me wondering what on earth all this coding stuff we've been talking about here has been for -- I mean, what Rubén came up with was specifically to show a hi-res version (for those devices that support that) and a lo-res version (for those that don't).
Every time I think I've "got it", as soon as I start actually working on my book I seem to invariably end up utterly confused all over again. :/

Don't worry, continue using images (in fact, only one because is the same background for all SVG images) of 1200x1800. And use images of 600x900 for being using when the erader is a Kindle DX (or an older Kindle device). Also there won't be problems if you use a image of 1200x1600 and images of 600x800.
