The problem isn't with the reader, it's with the Kobo eBook format (Not the ePubs, although it's kind of funny the hoops one must jump through to get a product sold on Kobo's site to display properly on their own hardware).

The Kobo proprietary format runs faster and displays better on their reader, but it has absolutely no support for images.

I did download the book to Adobe Digital Reader first, removed DRM, loaded it into calibre and then loaded it into the Kobo.
Again, you're talking about the ePub. I'm talking about Kobo's own format, which should be superior to the ePubs, but instead is severely broken.
