And check out the screen rez's.
You should not use 72dpi. You'll be sorry, if you see your book on an HD device, or even a plain Fire. Scroll down past the screen sizes, and look at the density. The lowest-density screen is 149ppi, and the larger go up to 339ppi.
My assumption in giving this advice is that your images are really important to you--that they are more than just, say, a chapter head image, or something along those lines. If they are NOT crucial--say, they are chapter head images, or a fleuron, or the like--you can go down in rez and overall size.
BEAR IN MIND that a) the K4iOS app still doesn't handle image sizing very well, for images under 100% of the width of the screen, and that b) the LITB is now showing ebooks pretty much as they are coded--so, an image that you've set to be 80% of the width of a Fire, is going to need enough rez/pix, etc., to look halfway decent in the LookInside when the viewer is a looking at it on a largish desktop monitor--like mine. Right? Publishers and professional book producers need to think multi-dimensionally these days.
Hope that helps.
