Anyway, if you tell me which Dragonsteel books you tested downloads for, I could tell you what formats our originally submitted images were in.

Do I understand correctly that Amazon's epub delivery is limited to the drm-free download links, and Kindle apps and devices still use azw3 etc.?
If you make the images smaller, you will screw your customers if you are allowing epUb to be downloaded. When the ePub is downloaded, the images in the ePub are full resolution and color if the images are on color. If you have the images smaller at the start, they will be that way in the ePub.
