You'll need CSS media queries, to make the K8 coding "hidden" in K7, and vice-versa. Right?

I think there might be some confusion here!
I said this a couple of times before, but perhaps it got "lost in the fray"... with regard to doing up my chapter titles as background images with text overlaid, it just seemed to problematic -- workable, I suppose, but problematic nevertheless -- that I decided to scrap that for doing up my chapter titles. I'm just going to do up something simpler for them instead -- I haven't come up with an idea yet, but I'll figure something out.
And with that said, I'm still very, very appreciative and grateful for all the time that Rubén (especially) and others put into teaching me about that -- it's still very nice to know and have learned! Thank you so much for that (once again).
With that said, though, all I've been talking about in my last few posts is NOT having chapter titles with background images w/text on top, but rather just images alone, done up to display full-page using SVG -- never mind the text on top. When I look at my first book, that "Imaginary Friend" one that went up on the iBooks store last week, and plop it into Kindle Previewer, all the full-page SVG pictures seem to show up just fine in Paperwhite -- so as far as I can see, that method of getting images to display full-page (and display at all) seems to work just fine in
all versions of Kindle, except for KDX (for which they don't display at all).
I can see/understand that I would need to do up code like you both suggested in order to get those images to show up in KDX, but I guess what's confusing me is your saying I have to do something to get them to show up in Paperwhite -- when, as far as I can tell, they're showing up just fine in that.
Remember, I'm just talking about images (alone) done up with SVG so that they'll display full-page here -- there's no text on top of them, they're just "pictures" and nothing else.
