I am not suggesting your idea is not workable but rather that some users should request that they fix the feature that should already be in the product. Just a thought.

I heartily agree with you that Amazon should fix the software and provide this feature. As far as I know, an inline image can be zoomed to full screen size on the Kindle (see
Kindle's Sort of "Zoom" Feature). But it cannot be zoomed larger than full screen size.
Most of the unreadable images I run across are already full screen size. My idea is just a hack to get around the problem. Obviously the resolution of the original image (grabbed from the framebuffer in my scenario) is a serious limitation.
I think whatever piece of code handles the <alt><Shift>G screenshot feature would be a good place to start. It obviously accesses the frame buffer directly.
Igor, are you out there? Did you look at this with JAD?
