PS I only use the kepub for a few books where the footnotes are unusable as epub

The code to do pop-up footnotes would have to be added to the Adobe RMSDK code which is used to render epubs.
Personally, I use the ACCESS renderer for footnote heavy publications. Otherwise as I really disliked it's odd rendering such as the issues with centered text and blank space (scene breaks), I seldom used it. While some of those issues are more or less fixed, there are no real improvements over using RMSDK for the type of books I read to make me feel switching is necessary.
As for zooming images? Very few of the images in the books I read are sufficiently high resolution to make zooming a valid choice. Bigger fuzziness is not all that appealing.
