In Epubs, no, the Adobe RMDK epub reader is very limited in that regard... Kepubs, yes, with a few caveats.
To benefit from Kobo's own reader software and the ehancements it offers, install the Kobo Touch extended driver plugin in Calibre (assuming you are using Calibre to load books to your Kobo.) That will convert epubs to Kepub format when sending books to the Kobo. Among the other changes, you can then zoom and pan images.. (Double tap on an image to zoom on it., pinch zoom also works, as well as a zoom on the bottom menu.
In addition to Zoom, the ACCESS reader also dithers colour gradients much more finely, so the screen looks like you have full greyscale, rather than just the 16 shades.
Unfortunately, when using the Kobo ACCESS Kepub reader, there is an extra page header, and trying to remove the header/footer exposes a few bugs to work around, so you loose some screen real estate. Regardless, with the better zoom and image rendering, I've even been covnerting my few loaded cbr files to kepub for reading on the Kobo.
