That's likely because you can do that with Kobo's own format, kepub. You can similarly zoom on Kindle with Amazon's proprietary formats. How well does Kindle handle ePubs?

Additionally there are privacy concerns with Kobo devices. Privacy problems are for Kindles too so I am searching for a reading device without the privacy horror right now.

I don't know how much data Kobo sends back, but they definitely know what books get synced to your device from the Library and their bookstore.

With Kobo you can register using a phony email address and sideload all of your books without ever connecting to the internet again. I *think* you can do the same with a Nook and possibly with a Kindle.
Now if you want the convenience of synching books, you should expect there to be a tradeoff.
