How to extract a ZIP archive on Pocketbook 903

Dear friends,
this is my first post to the his forum. I received a PB 903 3 days ago. I bought this device due to its large e-ink display. My intentions was to read newspapesr like the FAZ.

The PB 903 is great regarding connectivity. So, my idea was to download the
FAZ as a PDF files to my PB903. However, the problem is that FAZ offers
the whole daily release as a ZIP archive named like 20110103FAZ2242.zip (It is okay that FAZ offers the newspaper as a compressed file to minimize the download time).

I downloaded that file with my PB 903 directly into the main memory of my device
and not onto the SD card).. The file was detected as a PDF.

I was suprised that that the right content of the ZIP archive was detected.
However, by clicking on the file I got the message that
the book could not be openend because it is damaged or protected.

I copied the ZIP archive to my Linux PC and extraced the archive via unzip and copied the
returned PDF file onto my PB 903. Now I was able to read the PDF file.

So. my question is if there is an unzip functionality somewhere hidden on the PB903 which is able to extract the ZIP archives ? I would like to perform the unzip
on the PB903 rather than using an extra PC.

Kind regards
Pooh
