In regard to my nonbreaking spaces being ignored: They may have been ignored only because I insert them as characters rather than HTML entities. And this too is likely to be fixed at some time.

The issue of ignored transparency in images is also meant to be fixed eventually.
Aaron, it sounds like you have made contact with someone knowledgeable about KFX at Amazon.

Did you discover whether these problems need to be fixed in the central KFX generation process or individual reading devices or both?

I think it is likely that a lot of KFX processing occurs in the file generation process, rather than the renderers. If so then, unlike with AZW3, improvements or fixes to KFX will require that customers re-download books. And for the best reading experience it would be wise to download KFX books from Amazon when you are ready to read them instead of keeping a large number on a Kindle.
