I've had this problem with digital photos, where the image doesn't contain a resolution, just a pixel count. For myself, I run a batch process in Photoshop that resizes the jpgs to 300 dpi. I suspect PSP would have a similar function somewhere.
If you mostly care about making an ebook, leaving them at 90 dpi and resizing to letter size would work fine instead. It's only if you want to print them that the 300 dpi version should matter. (Also, some/most comics could be done as 256 color, rather than 24-bit, if you've got that option.)
Acrobat Pro has an option to "reduce filesize", which will condense the images better. (And it fixes the file expansion that happens with multiple edits.) However, it does change image quality--I've never noticed it onscreen, but printouts can be very different.

Yeah, PSP does have that option (at least it did in version 8.1, which because it was the last really good version (before Corel took the company - JASC - over), is the only one I ever recommend.
Acrobat Pro is a great program (although, the "upgrades" that they stuck in version 9 are decidedly NOT worth the money), but is expensive. Even version 8 is pretty pricey.
I could kick myself .... I gave away a version of Acrobat Pro 8 that I had gotten for free to someone who will probably never need it or use it. I wish I had held on to it, if only so that I could have given it to someone here.
Oh well.
