Yes, this, ^ exactly.

At my firm we take a few extra steps, for every book with images, using proprietary tools that we've developed and some tools that are available for anyone (like TinyPNG, which is awesome) to eliminate empty pixels and other wasted space in images.

Amazon actually does a pretty incredible job of compression. But the better job you do beforehand, the easier their job is.

Manga and other comic formats (yeah, yeah, I know, but let me lump them together for now) andif you want to save space, man, that's the place to start. IME and FWIW.
