The images are not supposed to fill the page; the vertical ones are 50%, the horizontal ones ends up about the same height-wise simply because they are horizontal. This is what she wants (the images are at the start of chapters). Only the cover is 100% height.

Apple iBooks doesn't read SVG wrappers, at least as far as I know. In the past, images in SVG wrappers were still often split over screens, at least when I tested them back then. The SVG wrapper worked beautifully in most ePubs, but then the new Kobo Arc, when I tested it in late 2014, ignored the SVG wrapper. (Kobo's bithub page warns that SVG images may not display correctly across devices). And the latest Apple Asset Guide states: "To ensure proper viewing of images in content, use the HTML img tag instead of wrapping images in svg:img."

So I'm at a loss as to how to code images that will work in both Apple iBooks and general ePub apps.
