My PB 902 should be delivered today and I've been messing with Calibre for a few days getting different formats/conversions ready for some trial and error and I've been using the DX output profile for everything.

When I fooled around with this 6 months or so ago, I couldn't get Calibre to keep the images at the original size. Maybe it's different today, and you should try to find out. If you create an epub or pdf file, you should be able to extract the images from it and see for yourself what resolution they are.
I ended up writing a script to bundle a bunch of images into a PDF file. It would convert the images to TIFF using ImageMagick's
convert program, bundle those together into a PDF using libtiff's
tiffcp and
tiff2pdf programs, and then use
ghostscript to add some tags (although, in retrospect, I see that
tiff2pdf can add author and title tags). I've attached the Unix shell script here in case anyone's interested in it.
