the problem is that browsers are not very good in resizing images. A
width of 90% in the XML sources translates to <img src ="" width="90%">
in HTML.

This would be possible with a style sheet modification, but the ugly
rendered screenshot will still be there. Rajko is correct - the only
possibility to have good quality screenshots on both PDF and HTML is to
provide them in the size they should be displayed (for shots of the
whole desktop I would recommend 800x600).
The ImageMagick command line tools are very handy - the following bash
code resizes all png images wider than 800px in the current directory
to 800xX and does a bit sharpening, too.

for FILE in *.png; do
SIZE=$(identify $FILE | cut -d " " -f 3)
WIDTH=${SIZE%x*}
if [ $WIDTH -gt 800 ]; then
echo -n "Resizing $FILE..."
mogrify -adaptive-sharpen 1 -resize 800x600 $FILE
echo "done"
fi
done
