No I don't make that assumption. It's not possible to zoom pictures in epubs (for instance officially bought ones from oreilly.com) to see them in full (e.g. graphics in e-books). It should be possible if I would convert my epubs to 'kpubs'. Great 'usability'.

A feature which the cheapest Kindle is able to do.

The Kobo support didn't care about the problem. For me the Kobo Aura HD is essential electronic waste. And my last device from Kobo.

I haven't listed the Kobo Aura HD because it was an embarrassing experience. And I have other E-Book Readers (Paperwhite 2, Onyx M96, Kindle Basic) which aren't listed either for other reasons.

I accept your apology.
