In any case it is not really better than just sending a .zip file with your images to the Kindle's email and having Amazon convert to a Personal Document. But it's nice to have options...

If the feature was there, I don't recall seeing it. But everyone got spoiled by dumping everything into the Documents folder, like the non-Touch versions, I guess. This was the first I'd heard of it (dumping an Images folder into the root folder of the Kindle, just like the Documents and Audible folders).
As for the latter? I disagree; if you've already converted items via Mangle to Kindle-sized greyscale images before this, this current Image Viewer still works well. It's not as functional as before, but now you can get full-screen images which, if you've resized them with Mangle, are perfectly smooth and readable if they're already set at the native Kindle resolution. There's a bit of a margin on the right side, and it still takes a moment to unzip items (if they're zipped) into a .tmp folder, but it's heads and tails above trying to put image files into an KF8-format AZW or PDF file... which would STILL not be full-paged.
And it's a lot easier to use an Images folder to get to your items (zipped up nicely, for ease of browsing), than to go through the main Documents folder to see 50 items, all starting with the name 'IMAGE_'.
