Hitch (who knows much more about all this than I do) doesn't like this solution, but I use percentages, most often
width="100%" but sometimes smaller, as in
width="12%" for a title page publisher's colophon, or even
width="60%" for an image that if enlarged to the max would look sub-standard. Be aware that the early-model Kindles will ignore such instructions (not a problem with the 100% solution, since all images in those devices are shown full screen unless very tiny) and so will the iPad and perhaps iPhone running the Kindle app.
And of course I now upload larger images, generally 800 pixels wide by whatever height is appropriate. Others use 1000 pixels.
This is not a perfect solution across all platforms and devices, but it's "good enough for government work," as we used to say in the defense industry. Hitch doesn't work for the Pentagon, so of course she has higher standards.
