I note that Kindle books can't be projected in color on the Kindle but that Amazon preserves (some) color, which shows up when a book is acquired for Kindle-iPad or Kindle-iPhone. For one of my books which has a lot of color images in it, I prepared an ePub which looks great on the iPad, but when I use Calibre to export to my Kindle, it shows up with no images at all.
My question: does Calibre delete images when it converts to Kindle format, or does the Kindle itself refuse the images? Others of my books have b&w images which work fine on the Kindle. Does anyone know what specific graphics-governing rules, if any, are causing images to be deleted?

Thanks in advance,

t.
