No, the zoom did not work on any of these versions. It is called zoom, but it is really "reflow", which only works on text.

It took about 5 seconds to open the file and about 3 seconds to switch pages in landscape view. This is noticeably longer than usual, but since this is vector graphics perhaps not too bad. The Hanlin V5 (BeBook Mini) would probably be faster, but its screen is even smaller.

I don't know if any 6" EInk device is going to work well for this kind of document. The new Sony PRS-600 has an actual zoom mode, so that is one possibility (if they improved the zoom over that on the PRS-700). It would probably be fine on a 9.7" Kindle DX, or even on the 8" iLiad (which allows zoom). There are rumors of a cheaper iLiad follow-on, see Mainstream iRex 8.1-inch reader for 400$ (rumor).

Finally, you could try splitting it into 4 quadrants using PDFread.
