I know that was true at one time, but according to the current Image Guidelines they
encourage SVG use:
Quote:
Image Guidelines
For a rich reading experience, provide the best available version of the images in your Kindle eBooks, using these guidelines:- Images that are pictorial in nature (e.g., Photographs, historical images) should not be blurry, smudged, or unclear to the point that it distracts the reader from the narrative. We recommend these type of images occupy at least 60% width of the screen for high quality reading on smaller devices.
- Images with text containing letters, numbers, or symbols should be legible and readable (e.g., Graphs, technical diagrams or Maps). We recommend these type of images occupy at least 80% width of the screen for high quality reading on smaller devices.
- Computer-generated visuals are best represented as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) however, SVG tags can lead to errors. We recommend removing SVG tags and using the image tag in HTML for images.
- Do not render text as images. If text can be separated from the surrounding art, it shouldn't be an image. Instead, it should be HTML.
- Figure caption, table, and title image should be in HTML. You can find details on tables in the reflowable table’s section Table Guidelines - Reflowable.
- For accessibility, all images must have text in the alt attribute in the HTML tag. For decorative images, set alt = “” or role = “presentation” in the image tag so that it can be ignored by assistive technology.
- For the best user experience across Kindle devices and applications, use color images whenever possible and relevant.

I didn't see an example of "removing SVG tags" but I would assume that means <img alt="" src="someimage.svg"/> rather than putting the svg code directly on the html sheet...
Have you seen kindles still having problems in recent testing???
edit: I did some more looking at the only restriction I found was that they require you to remove any SVG namespace references.
