Here's one of the pages:

Edit: it turns out zoom does work, just not within this book. I tried to zoom and the size of the image did not change, but when I went into the book I had been reading and the font is huge there! So the zoom works, it just works on a different book. |
Thanks for your efforts, Purple Lady.
I turned on my Kindle (the original, non-Paperwhite) and downloaded the book. For some reason the orientation changed from the normal way (the book was turned counterclockwise 90 deg). The zoom feature did work, but you have to zoom each individual page--quite a pain in the rump. If you don't zoom, the type is absolutely too small to read.
I doubt that the book is worth all of this trouble for me. Again, I'm sorry that I didn't know about its difficulties before I posted it.
For future reference (anyone can chime in here) . . . . if, on the preview of books that Amazon gives, it says "Just so you know...This view is of the print book (Paperback edition). A preview of the Kindle book is currently not available," as was the case with this book, is this a tip off that the book will be like this one?
