Hi, Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings is an easy book to see it in. Every chapter starts with a heading image that looks bad and stretched out compared to Kindle. Page 120 has a sketch that's cut off at the bottom and continues on next page.

David Vann's Aquarium has drawings of fish at the start of each chapter. On the Kobo they take up almost half the page. The Kindle version has them much smaller, acting as little header images, matching my memory of the paperback version.

Page 89 of Helen DeWitt's The Last Samurai has an image of the greek alphabet that is so large and badly aligned that it clips off the right side when I have margins any smaller than default.

I agree with the earlier comment that this sounds like an issue with the epubs, not with Kobo books per se. I've never had any such issues with the books I've bought from Kobo and on the rare occasions when I've had a sideloaded version (often converted from an Amazon source) and a Kobo store purchase, the "native" Kobo version has displayed graphics etc better than the converted version.
