Maps are a problem in ebooks, though. Even if the resolution is good enough, it's not always easy or quick to navigate to and from the map.
Now there is a set of books that I really, really want as ebooks (the Riddle-master trilogy). I don't have my paperback copy, but I think the issues with the map in that book have to do with the poor quality of the paper.
