One could print off any of the maps they wanted to concentrate on, though it would be a tad expensive if you wanted to print them all off in colour I would expect.
But that's the way I would do it, read the text on an ebook or tablet and view the maps on the PC, printing off the maps that I wanted to focus on depending on the history that I was reading.
Edit
You can download a preview from Kobo.

I took a look on Google Play (where I buy ebooks), and there is a sample there. Unfortunately, the maps viewed in the browser are illegible. I can also see that you'd need a colour display to make sense of them (which is okay). Another unfortunate thing is that the book is selling for $25 at that site.
Anyway, I'm not so much worried about the rendering abilities of what I read the book on, but rather whether the images embedded in the book are high enough resolution. If they made them small, or compressed them too much to save space, it would make the book fairly frustrating to read, and it wouldn't matter what I tried to read it with.
