@Doitsu...
"AFAIK, GrannyGramp does not use SVG cover images; she uses JPEG images in an SVG wrapper. I.e., she uses the default cover image code generated by Calibre and Sigil. Her books also contain the cover image metadata entry recommended by Amazon. "

I'm not sure if this is a viable check, but after I converted GG's ebook using KP 3 and saved it as a mobi I then converted it back to an epub using KindleImport. And when I checked in Sigl, the svg cover image wrapper was still there. SVG cover image wrappers are not allowed in mobi according to the current Kindle Cover Image Guidelines. In fact, they are not even mentioned.
