This kind of thing can happen!

I about tore my hair out over an epub I had made. It has a simple SVG title page. This displayed beautifully on my Kobo and in every epub reader app I'd tested on.

Then I converted it to Kindle format with Kindle Previewer and loaded it on my Voyage and half the title page text was missing!!!!! BUT (it gets weirder), the SAME EXACT FILE loaded on a older Kindle Touch displayed perfectly. And sent to the Kindle app on my tablet, also perfect. And perfect in Kindle Previewer. I still have no idea why the Kindle Voyage borks on that SVG title page, as I've not had issues with same in other ebooks I've made.

And yes, firmware on Voyage is up to date.
