Otherwise the reviewers cannot accurately see the graphics as they should be and any comments on the graphics won't be valid.
If it's a colour graphic novel or comic of some kind or very image heavy book then even color eink is poor and even if mono, a big tablet is often the only answer, so other than paper, sometimes PDF is the best electronic solution. Even a 14.25″ tablet is as cheap as 8″ and larger mono eink. No need for laptop or desktop now.

Many illustrated books are better as PDF than messed up reflowable or limited compatibility so called fixed-layout ebooks (abominations) that only sensibly work with the retailers app on a big tablet.

I hate PDF except to deliver for POD publisher upload, but sometimes it's the only sane solution if it's not on paper.
