Kindle Basic 3
Trying to create a mobi from multiple image files (jpgs)

I make an html file to the following pattern

Code:

<html><body>
<br><img src=images/119.jpg width=514 height=788>
<br><img src=images/120.jpg width=514 height=788>
<br><img src=images/121.jpg width=514 height=788>
</body></html>

and convert to mobi with calibre

Result is a file that the kindle displays normally except that, no matter what size the jpgs actually are, the kindle always shows them as if they were about 250x300, i.e. the image occupies only the top left hand quarter of the kindle screen.

What additional info does the mobi need to contain so that the kindle will resize images to fit its screen?
