As you can sideload books, and it isn't hard to convert from other formats to formats that Kobo ereaders support, you can get books from just about anywhere else. And, if you are buying from Kobo, most books in the shop have an epub version you can download.

Like another contributor in this thread I see no sign of any Zoom in and out of images option

You only see the zoom option on the bottom menu if the only thing on the screen is the image. Double tapping an image in a kepub will trigger the image viewer.

- though this shouldnt be necessary.

No, it shouldn't be necessary. But, for it to work properly, the person who put the book together has to know what they were doing. Most of them don't seem to. And unfortunately, each reader app or device interprets the standards differently or have different bugs. The book creators tend to concentrate on one or two of these and get it right there and then it doesn't work properly elsewhere.
But, if you have a book downloaded directly from the Kobo shop that looks different the ereader to the desktop application or other Kobo app, there might be a bug. Or, it might be differences in implementation because of the different hardware. To know, we need to look at the book. Can you point to the book? Maybe we can look at the sample and see what is going on.
