Hi,

I'm creating a comic in epub format. Each page is defined in a separate XHTML file that refers to the graphic for that page using markup like so:

<body>
<svg width="100%" version="1.1" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 449 649" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<image width="449" height="649" xlink:href="../Images/0000000001_5fed8544-62e6-11df-9d38-080027ee35a0.jpg"></image>
</svg>
</body>

The resulting epub displays beautifully on iPad, nook, Adobe Digital Editions, the Calibre Viewer, etc.

However, when I convert it to .mobi and view on my Kindle (v2), there is now a blank page after each full-page graphic.

Any thoughts on how to get rid of these blank pages?
