I recently bought some manga from Humble Bundle and was hoping to read it on my Kobo Glo HD, especially since the manga is provided in EPUB.

However, I found that the image sizes in the ebooks are too big, which has them being truncated off the right and bottom edges.

It seems there is no way to zoom out? I also tried using Calibre to "convert" the EPUB files I have using an output profile with a resolution lower than the Kobo Glo HD's screen. However, the result was that the image quality was just reduced. (It looks like the images were scaled down, but then the Kobo Glo HD just scaled them back up again to the same dimensions, which truncates the image again).

Is it something with the DPI settings of the image embedded in the EPUB? Any ideas on how to change this?
