More magnification would help in some cases, but often maps (for example) are unreadable because they were too small in the first place. Zooming a 150x200 image (say) to 1200x1600 instead of 600x800 isn't going to help much. If the original image had been 450x600 then it might even have been viewable without zooming, although a 2x zoom to 1200x1600 would then be helpful. Don't forget that if an image appears small on the Kindle's screen then it is really tiny, because the Kindle doubles image sizes anyway.
I think something like a fixed 1200x1600 (1600x1200) double zoom, displayed as 4 screens, is more likely to work on Eink than a scrollable generic zoom because of the page refresh time.
