Can't set up zoom to a useful level

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a A4 document in landscape display mode
2. zoom in, the whole content (not the document page width) should fit the
display width

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
on mobile devices with small displays, i expect to set up the zoom level so
i can see as much content as possible.
At the moment i have to use fixed zoom levels which don't match all of my
documents. In one zoom level the viewed page fit almost twice in display
width, the next zoom level is as big i have to scroll horizontally to see
the rest of the page.
Possibly, the zoom factor can be reduced with increased zoom level or use a
slider for set up the zoom level instead of "+" / "-" buttons.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 202 @ Android 1.6 (from Android Market, jan.04 2010, version says
0.2.0)

Please provide any additional information below.

I've just taken a look at the code and this should be easy to fix in onTouch() 
in
PagesView.java. Changing the step from 0.5 to 2/3 or 3/4 would be great !

Here is a patch with a 1.414 factor to have twice more zoom levels

I think we should also add a menu option to let user specify zoom level manual.

Additionally there should be "fit width" and "fit page" options in menu, but 
those 
wouldn't be that important if we had manual zoom level setting. So let's assume 
that 
manual zoom level is part of this issue, but "fit width" and "fit page" will be 
a 
separate enhancement issue.

I'm using a 3.2 inch display (Samsung i5700). I use 0.2.7, and the most useful 
zoom level I can have to read an A4 document still leaves 20% of the screen 
width unused (the document is readable at this point, but a little bit painful 
for the eyes as the fonts are a little bit too tiny ). The next zoom level 
requires me to scroll horizontally. Is it possible to add more zoom levels 
again or set the zoom level manually? Sorry for my English :)

I added a zoom-to-width feature.  Also, you can now set the zoom buttons to 
zoom by much finer levels in the options.
