Concerning (Ken's) your comment about Weird etc.: I don't know what scanning policy you are writing about. It's perfectly acceptable to include high resolution scans.
http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:HTML_FAQ#8._Recommendation:_Images "Since most people will be viewing these images in a browser on a screen with a resolution below or around 1000 pixels wide, you should mostly make your images not much wider than 600 pixels. If you have a 2000- or 3000-pixel-wide image derived from an original scan, you need to look at resizing it." (Is epub generated from HTML? That could compound the problem since epub is often read on tablets which have higher resolution than PC screens). I see this is a wiki, so I could delete the text in question, but I don't know what I could replace it with since I don't know what sizes PG really recommends. Also, this guideline seems to reflect actual practice for many books on pg, and even if those books were scanned years ago, the images in them are now permanently small, since nobody's going to go through the back catalog and rescan everything that has images.
