@ Hitch, thank you so very much for that informative post. I did end up educating myself throughout this thread (with the wonderful help of posters here, and on my own too) and now understand Amazon generates all formats needed from the one uploaded mobi, and that the author has no control aside from reverse-engineering by looking at the end product in different devices to see how it came out and trying other code in cases where the result was unintended.
It's good to KNOW for sure transparency will not be supported. (Knowing is better than wondering, even if it's not the answer I wanted.) So THANK YOU for that answer!!
I still have to re-do all pics as if the PNGs will have a white block I'd rather place them on a white background myself so I can add some subtle effects to the block to make it look nicer. And the JPGs all need to be redone b/c I saved with sRGB which was a HUGE improvement over the standard RGB JPGs, but Amazon doesn't support that either!
I don't mind learning curves but I could not have picked a worse first book, than one with 130 images, to learn on... which I never dreamed would be such an issue... and if I was publishing in epub and not mobi, it wouldn't have been. But not using Kindles or Amazon, I had no idea just how ... (well, I'll leave it at that!).
Live and learn...
