Hi. I'm considering getting a Kindle 4 and one of the things I expect from it is reading stuff on the internet using Wi-Fi. But Kindle 4 (even K3) isn't available in any stores near me and I can't try the device before I buy

I have a question about the browser. As I've seen in review vids, if you type in a web address, the browsers shows the whole page with button-controlled rectangle area for zooming in, you push the middle button and you see the zoomed in area that was in the rectangle. This may sound stupid, but can you move the zoomed area with direction buttons or page turners? Or you have to go to the full page view again and zoom the new area with the rectangle? I'm asking this because some of the web pages I read have multiple text areas or columns. And this question also applies to PDFs and images.

And does anybody know, will the upcoming Kindle Touch be able to move zoomed area in the browsers/PDFs/images with a move of a finger on the screen, just like in tablets?

Thanks
