- and AFAIK calibre will never upscale an image to match the resolution of a device, because upscaling images usually gives very poor results.

For covers in particular. what many people do is to find the highest res image available and put that in the library. As jhowell has said, Calibre will downscale it when sending to low res devices. Most tablet apps will downscale images to fit, with options to upscale, zoom, and pan etc.

Legacy perhaps - calibre is 10+ years old with ~3M active users.
