My proposal is to stick with the adjustimages.bat you have now, but change
it to use 150 dpi and a max width and height of 800 and 1250.

The best solution would be to check if an image fits (pixelwidth / dpi <=
limitW and pixelheight/dpi <= limitH) and if it doesn't fit, automatically
adjust the dpi to make it fit.

I'll see if I can find some tool to examine an image file, do the math and
then modify the dpi setting if needed...
