When you tap to open menus while reading a Kepub book, the menu you get will be different if the page you're on is a single image, or if there is any text content.


In the case of a single image, you will have the option to zoom/pan the image. the icon looks like a circle with arrows pointing in 4 directions, like a compass. If there is any text content on the page/chapter, the icon will instead be the Aa for font options.

Since the previous firmware update, (4.20?), the Kobo will no longer change menus based on where you are in the book. Whatever menu was there when you first opened menus will stick. So, for example, if you open the menu when on an image page, you will no longer be able to open the Font menu until you close and re-open the book. (Sleeping doesn't work for this,)
That description isn't correct. The menu choices get set by where you are when you the first time they are shown after opening the book. If you open the book to the title page and show the menu, then the image related icons will be shown. Then go to a page without an image and they will still be shown when the menu is opened. If the first time you open the menu is on a text only page, the correct icons are shown, but when you go to the cover, the menu doesn't show the image icons.

I'm not sure if this is a cover-only behaviour. It might happen with other image only pages. I can't quickly find a book that has this to test.
