Missing illustrations in book purchased from Kobo

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the firmware on the Kobo, or just carelessness on the part of the ebook publisher, but I recently purchased a book from the Kobo web site, "The Emotion Machine" by Marvin Minsky. Apart from some minor formatting problems which I can live with (section headings are a little garbled, with words run together or spaces in the middle of words), all the illustrations seem to be missing.

As far as I know, none of the 100 books that are pre-installed have illustrations, but I've loaded some books which I converted myself from PDF to ePub format, and the illustrations were loaded properly. So I think the fault is with the publisher, rather than the firmware on the Kobo. Has anyone else noticed missing illustrations in any books purchased from Kobo?

I can understand that they may have rushed a lot of books into electronic format to promote sales, but hopefully the illustrations and other problems will be fixed in future "editions" and I can download another version without having to purchase it again.
