This usually fixes the problem. The problem appears when I go from one ziped image directory to another and when the screen rotates. When it rotates, it doesn't zoom (just adjusts to the screen, so the images are even smaller in landscape mode, if they are in portrait orientation) and most of the time it will show only half the image.
If I don't rotate the screen, the first time I try to read there might be glitches. I just refresh the screen or go to next page and back to previous, and it doesn't happen again in that reading session.

Make sure to run your manga volumes through 'mangle' before zipping them up and loading them on the kindle. The kindle takes 20-30 seconds to load up a new volume of manga and (at least as of the latest firmware), you will see the last image you were looking at while the new volume is loading. The kindle waits until the next image display to refresh the screen - unless you use ALT + G which will automatically refresh the screen. You may also see some ghosting since the kindle only refreshes the part of the screen that it is displaying text/image on - if that happens to you when you go from the index page to the first manga page, ALT + G on the first screen will fix that for you.
Typically manga will handle 2 page images for you by rotating them into landscape mode - it's definitely better on the DX than it was on my kindle 2. I really couldn't make out any detail on 2 page images - due to the size of the kindle DX screen, it shouldn't be shrunk by very much at all.
Since I got my DX, I've read about 30 volumes of manga with no issues to speak of.
