All it does is blow it up to full screen and if the image is high-resolution then you can read it better. If not, then it's worse than no help, as you've experienced.<br /><br /> The best I can do with the 6" screens is read content with small lettering in Landscape. This is why I got a good Kindle DX long ago. <br /><br /> On Kindle Fire or an iPad or something in between, you can zoom an image to a size beyond the screen, but if the publisher made low-resolution images (and it's extremely important they understand this) the images are useless zoomed.<br /><br /> Sorry I couldn't help on this. I have lots of books with maps and am very grateful to publishers who decide to use the higher-resolution images. It's just extremely important for trying to read the fine print on a map, and this holds for large screens too because you want the person to be able to see the lettering and it takes a higher resolution to fill a larger, good-quality screen well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-59410992606099239162012-02-11T09:10:50.977-08:002012-02-11T09:10:50.977-08:00The maps do fill the screen but with details that ...The maps do fill the screen but with details that are much too small.

The e-Ink Kindles have no half-way thing about their image-zoom, they go to full screen landscape-style but if the image is low-resolution, it'll just enlarge them but the words won't be particularly clear though sometimes one can puzzle it out. The map shouldn't remain the same, unless the original already fills the page. Let me know if that makes a difference...<br /><br />Thanks for the nice words, Gordon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-56333929459958144712012-02-08T09:26:50.686-08:002012-02-08T09:26:50.686-08:00I'm reading Undaunted Courage by S.

It includes essential maps of the Lewis and Clark expedition, however, the maps are very hard to read even when I highlight them with the 5-way and press down. The magnifying glass does appear but the map remains the same no matter what I do. Perhaps the resolution simply isn't high enough, as you suggest. So many ebooks are "mass scanned" and the illustrations do suffer. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments on this and other matters.

You don't mention whether it's a...Gordon,<br /> You don't mention whether it's a book, a PDF, or a web page but I'll assume it's most likely a book.<br /><br /> A map would be an illustration: On the e-Ink Kindles, you can zoom any image but if the image resolution is LOW, then the resultant big image won't be nearly clear enough, so it will all depend on high the publisher's resolution was for the image.<br /><br /> On the K3 or Kindle Keyboard, move your 5-way to the center of the image and press down on the 5-way. The magnifying glass should appear in these situations. Click on that and you'll get a full-screen. I hope that the map resolution is high enough to make the difference.<br /><br /> - AndrysAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-26296171683680962332012-02-07T13:53:14.209-08:002012-02-07T13:53:14.209-08:00I'm having difficulty reading map details on m...I'm having difficulty reading map details on my K3 and the zoom feature doesn't seem to actually zoom. Is there a way to magnify fine details on the K3, short of going to higher magnification for the whole page? I'd really like to be able to zoom a specific part of a map.Gordon Inkeleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457336314246344460noreply@blogger.com
