For example, I downloaded and unzipped Briss. I got a folder from that full of .jar files. No .exe. No directions (yes, I read the .txt files). So how am I supposed to know how to use the darned thing?
The .txt files have directions, but I'd understand if they didn't mean much to you.

If you have Java installed, I'm fairly sure you should just be able to double click on the the briss-***.jar file (where *** is the version number), and it should work just as well as an .exe would.

You can't run it without Java installed. if you need Java, click here.

Unfortunately, e-Ink isn't the greatest technology for manually setting a zoom level, since it updates so slowly, but nevertheless, I agree with you: it really is more complicated than it seems like it should be.
