First, with the compressed size, you calculate the number of pages. Now the number of pages is fixed, and you place the pagebreaks in the uncompressed file so that you get the fixed number. There's no specification on the page length here, they'll be as long as needed to get the number of pages you calculated before.
Thanks for that. So they don't really use the count of actual characters at all. Only the byte count of the compressed file. Seems like they are fooling themselves.

All very intriguing!
I still don't understand why any book, regardless of level of compression, would start at page two instead of one.
But this thread has been more revealing than I ever expected it to, and I certainly learned many new and interesting things!

The answer has to do with the way it thinks. The algorithm says the image doesn't fit on page one so I will force it to page 2. This is pretty typical treatment of images, but wasn't intended to happen on the very first page.

Hi!

Same thing happened to me. I think you need to save the svg as a separate file and then link it to your xhtml file with an object tag. Like this:

Code:
<object data="nameofthefile.svg" type="image/svg+xml" width="100%" >          
        <img src="nameoffallbackimage.png" alt="something" />
        </object>
Works for me at least!

I've opened my mobi file in Kindle and it works fine. But the book does not start with cover page in Kinde.

Thanks for your quick comments.
