I've just been making most title pages as SVG with rare exception. Inkscape is my new friend! They work well, except for text to speech. I use title tags for reading apps that don't support SVG.

I *was* using a transparent PNG in an SVG wrapper, but I had problems with a number of Android reading apps that would render it as a blank page. A non-transparent PNG would work fine in such apps though. But I prefer transparency for non-e-ink devices, hence the move to SVG.

P.S. Although the SVG title pages have worked on my Sony readers, Kobo readers, on Kindle (once converted) and in most Android apps, I don't own any Apple devices, so I don't know about that.

There are some Android apps that have issues with display of the SVG on 4:3 ish aspect ratio tablet devices. What happens is the bottom of the image is cut and appears on the top of the next page. It's annoying as the same apps will display the exact same book images fine on a phone with the taller, narrower aspect ratio.
