Using svg graphics for title page
I have experimented a little with using svg graphics to get a nice-looking title page. In theory, it allows me better control over the vertical position of the text, relative to the page (screen) size, then I have been able to get with regular html/css.
I am happy with the result when viewed on my own Kindle Keyboard, and on Kindle Previewer's K. Paperwhite and K. Fire emulation. I am also pleased with what I get when I use Calibre to convert to epub format and view that in Adobe Digital editions.
But get more mixed results when I try to check other formats and conversion options. For example, if I run my mobi file from Kindlegen trough Calibre to get an epub (i.e xhtml -> (kindlegen) -> mobi -> (calibre) -> epub), the title page is miniaturized. And Kindlegen fails when I try to convert to Kindle iOS devices.
Have anyone else experience with this? Is it a viable way forward - or is the svg support in various ebook readers so poor that it is best to avoid svg?
