One of the pics featured on the blog shows the display featuring manga.

Does anyone know how manga books are supported on KT w/ NetFront?

Manga pages usually feature a fixed layout of frames. To be true to the original, I would imagine the entire page layout would need to be adhered to. This would result in the same issues that we have with PDF documents. Larger page layouts would not be readable w/o panning and zooming.

OTOH, the main idea behind EPUB is that the elements may be reflowed to fit the display. If the frames are deconstructed to make them flowable, the layout would be destroyed and frame overflows would be truncated.
