I thought the problem was that the source files were too small, but was hoping that maybe I was doing something wrong. I know next to nothing about editing pictures, after all.
I got the image files from Photobucket from someone on Kindleboards who posted them there. Here is the link:

I really like quite a few of the images, but they seem to be all 120×160, which is why they don't scale up nicely. Guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

Yup, the source files are apparently too small. I didn't change the algorithm; checked out a rescaled picture using your recommended Sinc algorithm - it didn't make any difference that I could see, but then, the source file is too small, so....
So, I am off to find some larger images that, hopefully, can be scaled down.
