IMHO percentage is much easier to read; also text labels don't
provide magnitude ratios ('Enormous' is 2x larger than 'Extra large',
but textual labels themselves do not provide this information).

There is also usability issue - in browser mode mouse clicking
'percentage' value (between zoom in and zoom out buttons) resets zoom to
100%. Right now this is a bit misleading: user clicks button labeled
'400%' and gets '100%' zoom. I can live with that; but clicking button
_explicitly_ labelled 'Extra large' and getting normal size is rather
confusing.
