Hi,

I am in the process of publishing a travel-guidebook on kdp (and other ebook retailers) and would need some help:

I am writing the book in word 2007 (docx) and would like to convert it to mobi and epub. (mobi for kdp, epub for all other retailers)

The book is a guidebook and therefore contains many images (>200).

In order to keep the filesize low, I am in the process of resizing all the images to 600px (width/height) with 300dpi before I insert them into the word file.
(I want to keep the ebook-filesize low because Amazon charges for the delivery of the ebook $0.15/MB).

Since I am downsizing the images already in the word-file I think that the best output profile would be"tablet" (since there is no additional resizing during the conversation).

Could you give me some suggestions or best practice tips about image sizes and settings? (e.g. What output profile to use? What is the best image size to use? Is it better to use the original filesize in the wordfile and to resize the the images during conversation? etc.)

I am grateful for any suggestion!
