Actually, there is. If what you want to accomplish is to enlarge the image so that it fills the text area (that is, with a slight margin all around, as distinct from the Zoom feature in many e-readers) you can add a
width="100%" instruction to the html. This works in all Kindle/Fire readers and apps, though I haven't tested it out on the iPad for example. (The early generation Kindles ignore the instruction, but they enlarged every image by default, unless it be very, very small.)
In the early days of the Kindle, we were instructed to upload images 450 pixels wide, which has turned out to be a thumbnail on the HD tablets, especially the 9 inch Fire HDX. Yet even those small images look pretty good on today's tablets when they fill the text area. I have not found it necessary to recreate the images for the books I uploaded in 2007 and 2008.
