It is hard to get these things intuitive.  Most people aren't used 
to being able to change the size of an image on the web.  Maybe it 
should change automatically with Ctrl + and Ctrl - ?  I personally 
think that the zoom slider from http://maps.google.com/ is the 
best user interface, but it should probably not be embedded so it 
obscures the page image.

What if all book page images were put next to each other in one 
giant image, that you could zoom and pan just like Google Maps?
Like a digital microfilm/microfiche of the book.
