See a post I made on page one quoting people who misunderstood what exactly I was complaining about. People think I'm talking about poorly formatted ePubs, which is why some keep bringing up publishers, etc. I'm complaining about the limitations of a different format altogether, the Kobo-developed "native" format sold on kobobooks.com, borders.com, etc
alongside the eBook format.

Kobo develops more than the reader hardware and software itself. But those things also have legitimate issues, that really should have been ironed out at this stage of the game if Kobo was more meticulous about development and QC.
It's bizarre how quick some people are to white knight a corporation they like. The more consumers complain about issues like this, the more feedback Kobo has to develop a better product (if they want to). It's a corporation, not a person. I'm sure nobody's feelings are hurt by constructive criticism.
The problem in my OP is something I'd expect to see in a beta version of the format, images not displaying
at all is actually a pretty serious limitation. Plenty of books rely on more than just plain text to get their message across.
