I read a lot of technical books that are in ePub format from O'Reilly.

I don't need a bunch of bells and whistles, I just need something to read the book on. The Kobo would seem to fit the bill--light, simple, inexpensive--everything I'm looking for.

When I viewed on at a Borders, the salesman indicated the Kobo can't display any graphics that are embedded in the book. That would be a deal-killer for me, as the O'Reilly technical books often have graphics.

Is this true? Does anyone have any experience using a Kobo to read O'Reilly ePubs?
