Yes, there was some eye glazing, but also fatigue from trying everything I could think of plus various suggestions over a long time with no improvement. As I wrote before, there are too many variables for me to develop an understanding of what is going on.

With your changes, it works on more devices, and works better on some.

The diagrams still do not display on a Pocketbook 360, which might be partly explained by the the age of the device. (I just now checked, and the ADE reader on the pb360 does display the diagrams. This is the first time I've found the ADE reader preferable to FBreader on the pb360.)

I was about to write that they do not display on the Onyx Boox M92. That is true for FBreader and Coolreader, but Pdf Reader works fine.

In another surprise, the iriver story HD also displays the SVG figures.

The built in reader on the Nook HD+ continues to work, FBreader and Coolreader continue to NOT work.

The Kobo Aura HD and Aura H20 display the SVG with or without the css changes, but there is a problem with Fig 3-21 with the css changes. The width = 100% causes the bottom of the figure to get clipped. This also happens with some of the other readers. On the Aura HD without the changes, some of the figures are a bit small, but are mostly fine. On the Aura H20 without the changes, many of the figures are severely clipped in width and/or height, IMO a step backward from the Aura HD.

I used ebook-convert from calibre 2.75.1 without options to make an AZW3. On a Kindle Voyage, the figures display well in both portrait and landscape. In both modes, the Voyage sensibly limits the figure width if 100% width would cause clipping in the height dimension. Trying to zoom the figures gives bizarre results, but I found all the figures readable without zooming. (Trying to read the smallest for a prolonged period would be painful, though.)

Something I think worth noting regarding comparing different versions of a book on an ereader is that many devices show books by the title from content.opf and it can be difficult to tell which version is which, so I've been teaking the title when I make changes. Just something to consider. (I haven't been changing the UID. No idea what the ramifications of that are.)
