I am investigating using SVG images in our ePubs for some graphs etc. as text is too fuzzy in some images when using jpg or png (plus Apple Store apparently rejects ePubs if too much text in bitmap images).

I am testing generating the SVGs via Adobe Illustrator CC and then manually adding into ePub file. The SVGs seem to work fine in both Adobe Digital Editions and in iBooks/iPad except for one issue:
If the image has embedded bitmaps (eg. we have an SVG image with embedded bitmap images as well as text) the bitmap images don't display in iBooks/iPad but the text does.

Note that both text and images DO display correctly in Digital Editions.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening? The SVG images seem to validate correctly using the Oxygen validator?

Many thanks for your help : )
