This is what happens when a device cannot custom-zooming or reflowing. With this, it's just a matter of luck if you'll be able to read a zoomed text, it'll depend on the text layout. Magazines will be a nightmare.

And what if there's no multi-column layout, but a big block of tiny text? Simple: you can't use any zoom to read, just landscape mode.
