I think the quality of the illustrations depends more on the author and publisher than on Amazon. The Kindle's 16 levels of gray are capable of some quite nice rendering.

Stephen Hawking's A Briefer History of Time has some excellent illustrations in the Kindle edition.

Here's a photo of myself taken at my other job.
