I hesitate to post this in the light of the terse JS post above but ....
I contacted Amazon technical support (to ask why the K3 and K4 differed in this respect) ... the guy on the call went away for 15 mins and then called me back ...
He was able to display a B&W jpg zipped in a folder in the Kindle docs folder ok on a K4, was able to select the image and repeatedly zoom in and also pan using the 5 way controller...
ie the K4 picture viewer was behaving like the K3 with the exception that he had to select the image and zoom in in order to get to a pannable image.

As to the quality of the image ... perhaps its image dependent ? ie .. low res B&W jpgs are ok ... larger file sizes or color derived (I assume JS used the color jpg attached to his post and let the Kindle B&W it) not ???

May be hope for Manga lovers yet ?

ps ... 10/10 for Amazon Tech Support ... they called me within 10 minutes of my initial email query !!!!!
