Thanks for the input.

Of course there is no absolute need to scale down the images, but I was thinking that it won't make much sense to have larger files than current readers can display.

No maps in this project, but I've also come across maps that made no sense due to unreadability, so with those I would always tend to err on the side of higher-than-necessary resolution.

I think I agree with 900x1200 or perhaps a little larger; I'll see what the final file size will be. Of course I do all the cleaning up before downscaling and will keep the hi-res files, so it will be easy to come up with an improved version when the current resolution becomes inadequate in a few years.
