This would be one of the few advantages I can see to reading on tablet rather than an eReader - the publisher could include a link to a higher-resolution version of the map for those able to check online while reading.

I agree about the difficulty with maps in fiction books on the the various eReaders - they're usually worthless when scrunched down to that size!
