Still a long way to go before screen displays can match large format well-illustrated, photo or art intensive books... existing tech will let you look at an entire image (but usually smaller than life at lower res than reality), let you zoom in for detail (but only as good as res level of scan/photo) and in all cases with a different (lower) colour gamut than either reality or high quality colour print...
Simple example - history of fighting sail, illustrated by contemporary (to Napoleonic era) artwork, approx 2 feet by 1.5 feet with many double page spreads... wonderful but as a whole, would lose considerable impact if full image limited to current screens and resolution with zoom needed for close detail examination... the book, usable anywhere I care to take it...
