I reviewed in the kindle forum thread since it seemed to be the most active thread on the subject.
Here's a link to the review

Briefly, the images are as good as can be expected at present in size - in the lord of the rings, some are even bigger than screen resolution.
But LOTR is missing the map of the west of middle earth, and the map covering just Rohan, Gonder and Mordor. The map of the shire is 574x984 pixels, and at full size the lettering is legible, but in monochrome - the red lettering in the printed maps is in grey. The ring inscription is only 255x80 pixels - I'd have liked it a bit larger. The gates of moria illustration is 555x885. Gimli's pedigree is 930x1228. I haven't checked on the CyBook to see how that scales down. The other pedigrees are a little smaller, the smallest being Sam's at 680x953. The letters and runes tables are similar - perfectly legible.

(I don't care if they are in B&W, but they should be big enough to be easily readable. Most fantasy books I've bought come with thumbnail sized maps or such low resolution ones that are useless).
