Just a quick question regarding images and firmware 1.8.X on the original Kindle.

I have purchased an image heavy book (Nikon D300s Digital Field Guide) to compare the rendering on the iPad Kobo App and the original Kobo. Within the app, the images are essentially the same as in the printed book.

On the Kobo running an old version of the firmware there were no images. I expected that. But running 1.8.2 there are still no images.

I'll admit to not looking inside the file, but I was expecting that the downloaded book file was the same, but the older FW on the Kobo could not display the images. I expected that updating the FW on the Kobo would have enabled the embedded images to be visible.

This is getting longer than I expected - but to that quick question - what's the best way of method of peeking inside the Kobo to see if it's a different version of the ebook (a no image version, specifically for the Kobo)?
