It certainly isn't a requirement of the ePub specification that a device should have that capability.
It is not a requirement that it should show all text on a page either. Or that the text should be readable.

I think I gave this example to show that the ePub implementation was not "solid" and that you are overselling it. When comparing with PB360 it would be better to state exactly what is better so that people can make an informed choice.

For me that I have to fix the ePub books manually because of the margins is a very big disadvantage. Other people might not care about it.
