The images are vastly different in size. The ePub and LIT versions have very large images, the largest is the Map of Wilderland, which is 1,547KB and 1600x1258. The MOBI version is 81KB and 586x481. The eReader version is smaller still, 38KB and 360x282. The ePub version resizes to fit the screen, so it is probably an image inside a SVG. The PDF version is across 2 pages, and unfortunately the double page ADE option does not show both pages of the figure.

EDIT: FictionWise has released a "quick" fix of the eReader version. The final version is due May 1st. I have added its screenshot as a 7th image (original is image 3). The images seems clearer, but I can't tell how big it is (because the eReader ebook is DRM-free, so it is harder to explode to extract the image).
