Chartkits are paper charts...aren't they? They are just a bunch of charts all bound together in a book. The spirit of the requirement is to ensure that you aren't flying blind if the GPS goes out. NOAA has PDF versions that you could print out. Pretty sure they would count too. Remember there is also a requirement to have "Chart 1" which is basically a map legend.
