The maps would not be incredibly detailed, just borders, main cities (perhaps rivers)....
My thoughts: for most ebook readers, this is a so-so idea. Most ebook reader screens are not suitable to display maps which require some expanse. Probably it would do okay on one of the iLiads but not for something like the Kindle 2, Sony PRS-700 which is typical of the size of most ebook readers.
