What seems to happen is that many devices re-interpret image resolution to best fit the screen.

I am quite happy with altering file size (compression) or pixel dimensions when necessary. These are things Calibre can do, even tho as separate tools in the user interface.
Curious, aside from conversion, how do you change resolution of images inside a book using Calibre (not just cover but other embedded images as well)?

There's only so much that changing compression ratio will do. I have books with 12 megapixel images. For books I deem unreasonably large, I unpack, then use IrfanView to batch resize and convert, overwriting in place (JPEG compression 75%), then repack.
