I agree with the discussion of images--if there's an image I really want to see in detail, I will look at it on a larger screen. I definitely would never want to have a situation where an image was cut in half to be seen over two screens on my e-reader, or where I had to pan around in an e-ink reader.
I also wouldn't want a publisher (or retailer) to sell a book that wouldn't perform well on it's lowest device, which is what would happen if they sold it with all of the images in the highest resolution. I don't understand why you object to Amazon's way of doing it? As I understand it, they scale the pictures so that they look good no matter the device. If you download for an original Kindle, then you'll get low res pictures. If you download for Kindle for PC (or Mac) you'll get high res pictures. Or am I wrong, and that's NOT how Amazon does it?
