No, it's not happening for me.

I'm zoomed in, and the scroll-wheel has no effect.

I can think of a few examples: Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Word.  Three popular pieces of software, they all Scroll when you Wheel, and they all Zoom when you Ctrl-Wheel.  That is why having that set of functions would tend to be intuitive to me.

Dear Nxtbook Media,

Yes, the zoom toolbar is in the same field as the magazine content.

http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/arrl/qst_201206/index.php#/60/OnePage 

The top of the magazine pages has white space, so if I'm looking at the top of the page, having the zoom-toolbar at the top and middle of the page isn't really a problem.

But when I'm zoomed in and looking at the bottom of the page, the top of the field is filled with content, and the zoom-toolbar is still there superimposed on top of content.

Thanks,

Dear Nxtbook Media,

I'm using WinXP, Firefox 12, desktop.

Part of my intended message was that I find the maximum amount of zoom to be insufficient.  That's why I'm clicking for Even More Zoom, but not getting it.

Since there's Not Enough Zoom (NEZ), I keep trying to click for Even More Zoom (EMZ).  It's reflexive; I can't help myself (mostly because I'm having trouble seeing the small print).

Bueno?

I've been playing a little more.

It seems that whenever I change the Zoom level, the page I'm viewing also spontaneously scrolls to the top of the page.

The effect is most pronounced and aggravating when I'm maximally zoomed in and viewing the bottom of a page.

In summary, it's not only a phenomenon when my NXTBook is already set to Maximum Zoom and I'm trying to click for Even More Zoom.  In fact, any change in Zoom level, whether it's available or not, results in my page also spontaneously and undesirably being scrolled to the top of the page.

Oh, look!   The Up-Down arrows control the Zooom!

I might suggest that -any- wheel functionality would be more useful than having none at all, such as presently seems to be the case.

There are so many things you can do with a wheel.

An intuitive implementation would be to spin the wheel to push the page up and down (as clicking-and-dragging on the page is now the only method, methinks).  And Ctrl-Wheel would be used to change the Zoom level.

On a tangent, at Maximum Zoom, the NXTBook needs Even More Zoom (E.M.Z.), but that's off topic for this thread.  (I just couldn't contain myself.)

Thanks,

PS:  EMZ

Since Problem 2 took all of the attention, I would like to put a little more emphasis on Problem 1:

1)  Not enough Zoom 

I'm using a Desktop and a 27" monitor.  Reducing the screen resolution from 1600x900 to 1200x720 only helps a little bit, and should be unnecessary.
