Images can only be zoomed if the file is in Kobo's native "Kepub" format. That includes any books purchased and synched from the Kobo Store. If you are sideloading from a PC, you have to process the file into this format. From Calibre, you can install the Kobo Touch Extended Plugin to do this for you on the fly. Otherwise, there is a stand alone Kepub converter app you can find on this forum.
If you already have your books in the correct format, double tap on images to open them full screen, and pinch zoom, (or there is a zoom and pan icon in your menu bar that looks like a 4 direction compass.) Images that are already full page will already have the compass icon, and you can just pinch zoom those.

Also the dark mode produces a bright flash when completely refreshing the screen, which is unpleasant in the dark but I guess there's no way around that.

I have to give Amazon credit for this. They solved this problem a few years ago with the Oasis. The solution is to simply fade out the lights before flashing the e-ink screen. I'm surprised Kobo has not implemented this, but the technique is probably tied up in Patents.
