It is still unclear to me how many variations are in use. So far I have only seen two: low resolution B/W jpeg-xr for e-ink kindles and high resolution color jpeg for everything else.

One thing I have noticed is that the 'attachables' files, containing book images, are limited to about 3MB each. Books with lots of images will have several of these files. When downloading one of these books with the newer kindle apps, the download progress bar will quickly turn green. At that point the app will allow the book to be opened, even though image files are still being downloaded. This seems like a useful feature for those with slow internet connections.
