Xin xii is just doing it wrong. This is a quote from their free eBook style guide.

Image Size
Large images should always be scaled down, so the file does not exceed our maximal file size of 40 MB (for example Gimp, IrfanView, Paint, Photoshop). The smaller the image the smaller the file. A few eReaders have a display format which allows for large images to be displayed properly. The loading of the image in the case of bigger image files takes a long time and alters the reading experience. That's why the image should not be larger than 400 px (pixels) and not have a high resolution (of course it should not be too pixelated!).

The images they use in this style guide are awful and not really readable. With newer high resolution screens, images should be high resolution so they can be clearly viewed.
