If the aspect-ratio does not exactly match the ratio of the "usable" space (screen-size minus status-bars etc.) of the device, there will be a small border. And when the device rotates the contents from portrait to landscape mode (which is, as i recall, a feature of kindel), then there will be a big border ...
IMO. the best is to use height="100%" for portrait-oriented pictures and width="100%" for landscape-pictures. You should play with it and get some experience. And note that some devices will add some border "just for fun".

kindlegen, it just ended up as white instead. Although I am using kindle reader on a PC if that makes a difference ?

I've no experience with kindlegen but you may try "background-color: #000000" or "background-color: black" instead of "rgb(0,0,0)".

It is really poor code but it's my first effort!

This was not a
poor code, it was an
excellent
code, reduced to the minimum neccessary to show you, how the things could go.
Of course there are better ways to place formattings, but the question was "how to embed pictures" and not "how to make stylish css". Sorry for this extension which is actually adressed to someone else.
