I have found that working with jpg images at 240 ppi yields good results. In putting the book together I use JPG images printed to file at 240 ppi and make sure that each photo I use is dimensionally larger (in inches) than it will appear in the book. Then InDesign and Blurb somehow work together in the pre-flight process to adjust the image file to the proper final dimensional print size (in inches at 240 ppi). Blurb is helpful in that the pre-flight process identifies any images that have too low a pixel count to look good before you give them the go-ahead to print the book. You can then go back and fix them if necessary. The software does all the work. No nasty calculations required. Back to lurking?
