Title: Great for text, quite poor for maps and figures
Product review: My first kindle book is "Day of Battle" by Rick Atkinson, a history of the WW2 Italian campaign. The kindle 2 displays text flawlessly, but the maps (crucial to understanding in a book like this) are absurdly poor, even using the magnification function. I checked out the print version of the book from the public library to view the maps, and found that it also contains many useful photographs, which are entirely missing from the kindle edition. I feel a kindle customer should be alerted when the book contains maps, photographs, or other content that displays poorly if at all on the kindle. The customer could then opt for the print edition. Perhaps Amazon could find some other way to deliver this content, such as an email to the kindle customer containing this content for display on a personal computer.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
