SVG images - why?

True, but there's a workaround so the page won't be blank. If you use title tags within your SVG, the text within *will* show up on Kindle for iOS.

I know this because I like to do my title page text/images as SVG, but I make a habit of always using title tags to list title and author, as apps that don't support SVG usually will render the text, thus avoiding the blank page look.

Less useful though in instances where you NEED the image content to be seen.

I wonder WHY Kindle for iOS doesn't support SVG though, seems crazy when Kindle for Android has no issues. Does Apple not allow Amazon to support SVG or has Amazon just been lazy with the iOS app?
