DR800S: Reasons for PDF-Zoom function (was: ePub bug?)

Recently I checked out the ePub-version of a german newspaper, the only one I know publishing in ePub.

The ePub files have a special structure: First there's a bitmap of the whole newspaper page (unreadable, because of the size, but you get a feeling for "what the original page looked like"). Then the arcticles follow in text format with the article pictures.

A test-issue can be downloaded here.

On my Sony PRS-300 the file displays fine. But the DR800S "eats" the page breaks after the initial intro-page and no article can be read. To get a better impression, I've enclosed pictures of the DR800S displaying the file.

The ePub itself is valid, I validated using the online Threepress Validator.

Other ePubs so far are fine. Does anyone with a DR800S also have some strange results in displaying some ePub files?
