I'm very new to kobo, and I see you all posting code and all that. Are there hacks or mods or something for these devices that could solve this?
What worked for me is displaying images using the SVG wrapper technique. Basically, you can make the image fit a page so if the display resolution increases, the image is automagically zoomed. This is useful for maps, illustrations, etc. where you want a large image. For decorative elements such as fleurons and vignettes, stick with the standard image insertion.

One item to remember with the SVG wrapper is that the numbers are not actually the image size as no units are specified. They represent the aspect ratio of the image and the viewbox.
