Sometimes people are complaining about the eBooks layouts rather than the actual contents.

Many reviews mention that this book is not well suited for reading on Kindle/Kindle for iPad due to low resolution of maps. Maps on Kindle for PC seem to better but few of them are sideways.
Must be a great book on paper though!
