This is due to the lazyness of the creator of the ebook. In Mobipocket Creator, you can have a thumbnail image that when clicked, displays a much larger image. This works on a PDA. You can even scroll the larger image on the small screen.
Of course, the real problem is the use of bitmapped images, but this is endemic to all ebook formats. There is some hope, as epub supports SVG, which is scaleable. Not a solution for all images, but many images that are currently delivered as bitmapped could be done as SVG.
