This is a big difference between Epub and Kobo Kepub handling of images.

Epubs display the images exactly as they are formatted in the document. so if you have a book that has images larger than your screen, but no css formatting to resize the image, it will extend past the boundaries of the screen.

Kepub, on the other hand, will re-format single images into a image viewing window, completely disregarding the book formatting. (Kindles will do something similar, automatically shrinking oversize images to fit to screen.)

The behaviour described here seems opposite of that, so I'm not too sure what exactly is causing the issue.
