Yes indeedy, there are now 9 zoom levels of which perhaps 2 are actually useful :-) zoom levels 2 and 3 seem to work OK for the epubs I am playing with now (from Project Gutenberg and other free sources). Above zoom level 3, the amount of text per page is risibly small.
At high zoom levels it would sure be nice to have a panning function; I've suggested to Jinke that a thumbwheel would be a good feature for future versions of their reader. (Have been drooling over early photos of Plastic Logic's Que, but that won't be affordable by anyone outside the business aristocracy for a long time to come.)
Page refresh time is still sloooow with this firmware rev.
