Maybe it isn't as trivial a feature as you would expect.
While xpdf has zoom and pan in it already, it's set up for a much faster display than eInk. The delay probably is in how to make pan and zoom actually do something other than create an unreadable page (because you can't pan fast enough to make it worth while).
As a software professional, I get comments like this all the time from management. "It's a trivial change. Why is it taking so long?" I sigh and list all the issues - the details that they don't want to deal with - that we need to figure out so that their change works correctly and doesn't mess everything else up.
