Why not embed it at 1440x480, and allow it to resize to the width of the portrait viewer when viewed that way? Won't it still be 1440x 480, when you rotate it back to your landscape view?

Well, as with all the boks I've uploaded to the MR library, I did it for myself, but probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble if I couldn't also share it here.
I shouldn't have mentioned pixels; let's talk about centimetres. The screen of my Aura HD is roughly 10.4 x 13.8 cm, so the maximum size to be got out of the example picture is 13.8 x 4.6 cm. But since my reader doesn't auto-rotate the image, I can only get this size if I rotate it by 90 degrees
before putting it in the book. If I didn't do this, I would only get to see the image at a size of 10.4 x 3.5 cm. All this has nothing to do with the resolution or pixel size of the image.
So this definitely means that for everybody to be able to enjoy the images at the maximum possible size, two versions of the book are required - one for auto-rotate readers, with all the images right side up, and one for non-auto-rotate readers, with images in landscape format rotated by 90 degrees.
