Forcing the image to the top of the next page with page-break always is another choice.

I will begin tossing this into the EPUBs that need them (going to finish tweaking one today). I have known about the solution for a while already (just absorbing it from those tens/hundreds/thousands/millions of times this question has been asked), but it never really occurred to me to ACTUALLY use it in my code.

(Forgive the sidetracking) Me and you must combine forces, we will figure out this SVG in EPUB thing!
There WILL have to be a "cutoff point" eventually, where you just say bye bye to an older device. You say the cutoff point is now.... I say somewhere in the middle. Hitch, perhaps about 10 years after everyone's Kindle has drawn its last breath!

I literally live in dread of what's going to happen when we send him the ePUB and MOBI. (And this whole thing? For a chapbook of poetry? About $300, total. Since DECEMBER.) So....no more poetry for us, either.

I love the phantom "changes"!
Perhaps poetry conversion can be FREE, and then you charge per complaint.
"Please fill out this form with the required $5 Poetry Complaint Fee:"
You would be raking in the dough!

Especially when you are doing it at such a high quality for so cheap.
