It's not perfect, but for my eyes it's perfectly readable. In landscape, it still fills 2.5" of the 4" available. The next zoom step is 400%, which would not work for either. So the lack of continuous zoom levels is rather annoying.
But at 200% in portrait mode on the JetBook, I can read a column without having to scroll left to right as I go. That's the main reason I've abandoned using my Windows Mobile phone for reading PDFs.
Does that address your question?

I find the 200% zoom great for full page image PDFs, as well. Have you
tried using the OK button while in an image PDF? One push gives you a 9
segment numbered selection grid that you can zoom to the numbered
segment by using the number keys on the right side of the JBL. The
second push of the OK button gives you 4 segment grid. Once you have
zoomed in you can move from segment to segment with the direction
keys surrounding the OK button.
This feature wasn't in the manual, as I recall.
