However, all the ePub version does in Windows Adobe Digital Editions and Sony eBook Library is crop the image to the screen size.

Does any ePub reader automatically rescale images? This seems to be yet another hole in the ePub specs.
Yes, the Hanlin V3 reader rescales images. (Bebook, EZ Reader, etc). It shrinks the images in portrait mode a little more that I like but in landscape more they are full width (760 pixels) and then split over pages as needed.
Portrait mode may also split images depending where they are on the page although they are shrunk enough to fit on the page if they are near the top. I have asked Jinke to have an image selection view mode to be able to see the entire image and they are considering it.

How big are the various images in your test epub?

edit: in landscape they are not quite 760 pixels. There is a page margin around the image. I estimate something about 700 or a little more.
