not sure I follow. Why’s that a strike against a book? Sometimes a chart / graph is the perfect way to illustrate what the author wants to convey.
I'm assuming the issue is that images are often problematic on e-readers. On Kobo readers you can use Kepub format to gain extra image manipulation, but in my experience it's cumbersome so I don't usually bother.

I'm only up to chapter two, and so far the graphs haven't been a problem for me in the book. A few are such that I cannot read the fine print, but the shape and heading has been enough - with the main text - to make the point pretty clear.

Other than that, I can only confirm what JSWolf has said: there are a lot charts/graphs in this book.
