You can "import" any way you want. AFAIK, it won't affect the images. It's conversion and output that affects them.

The problem I've been having is that when the images are converted, they are not readable. In some cases, I imagine zooming-in would be required to read and see the details of the images.
Any advice would be great!

Your selected output device controls resolution of image conversion. If you select a device with a specific resolution, Calibre converts images to that resolution when making recipe-based ebooks. I believe it also does that during conversion from existing formats (Perhaps others can confirm this).
Personally, I keep my device set to Generic Tablet. Kovid or others might be able to tell us if that affects the images and/or if that's best for maximizing resolution, but I've had no problems. I can zoom in when needed and AFAICT, resolution of the original image is untouched. I have tried conversion to PDF and to EPUB. Both work well. I use readers that allow me to zoom, if necessary.
