Question Quick Kobo newbie question
Hi all
I've been enjoying my H2O for some time but one thing bugs me.. and I have to believe it is really simple.... and that is, how do you enlarge an image in a book so you can see it better? It must be blindingly obvious, or maybe Kobo don't offer such a feature?
thanks in advance!

If you are reading a kepub format ebook, you can double tap the image. For an epub format ebook, you are out of luck.

If you add KOReader you can "Long Press" on the image, to have it enlarged to full page.

Luck;

You were told you can zoom images with KePub. So why do you have to install KoReader?

also note that some ebook converters still downscale images if not configured correctly

or the ebook is shipped with low-res images from the start

or it's jpeg with compression artifacts

so making the image larger unfortunately does not necessarily provide the same level of detail you'd find in a paper book; it's a shortcoming of ebooks esp. older ones that were optimized for ereaders with 600x800 pixel screens when todays resolutions are so much higher
