Yes, this is exactly what I am talking about. It sucks.

It seems to me that the software fix is easy (Lab126, are you listening?). Assuming the hi-res image is baked into the ebook in the first place, instead of blowing it up to screen size, add the option of blowing it up to 1:1 pixel-to-pixel size and add a pan feature. The pan feature doesn't have to be that sophisticated.

If we can get Igor to figure out how to get third-party Java apps to run, we could hack the reader and fix this! (Igor, have you cracked this yet? )
