Body: <p>I have a new Kobo Libra and bought 2 online <code>epub</code> books.
  I transferred them onto Kobo by using <code>Calibre</code>. When opening the eBook the layout is fine except that all images appear very small!? I've opened the the eBook in <code>Calibre</code> and there everything looks fine, the images are scaled to a readable/viewable size.</p>
  <p>Is this an issue with Kobo, the <code>.epub</code> format or something else?</p>

ThreadText: # Kobo Libra images appear very small
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-09-23)
  
  I have a new Kobo Libra and bought 2 online `epub` books.
  I transferred them onto Kobo by using `Calibre`. When opening the eBook the layout is fine except that all images appear very small!? I've opened the the eBook in `Calibre` and there everything looks fine, the images are scaled to a readable/viewable size.
  
  Is this an issue with Kobo, the `.epub` format or something else?
