Are you suggesting that I keep the same image and just code it to be larger or that I actually go back to the original image and resize it before insertion into the original epub before converting to mobi?

The recommendations I posted earlier are a mix of old and new. Mostly the new format. It is not necessary to resize your pictures any as long as you are willing to edit how the images are embedded either in epub or kf8 format.
Created an ebook just to test that out. And attached is the result in KF8, the epub source is simply this:
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Image Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
img {page-break-before:always;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>Image Test with 250x332</h1>
<img alt="duck" src="duck.jpg" />
<img alt="duck" width="100%" src="duck.jpg" />
<img alt="duck" height="100%" src="duck.jpg" />
<img alt="duck" width="50%" src="duck.jpg" />
</center>
</pb>
</body>
</html>
Both epub and kf8 are attached (quick done in calibre started as epub then converted to azw3).
Works both on my PW and KT to fill the whole page either with width or height set to 100%.
