11.3.2.7 Source Issue #7—Faded Text
Leave the text color unspecified. Using light colors results in faded text.
Some Kindle devices allow the reader to change the background color to black. If text is forced black, it
will not be readable in this mode and the book will be suppressed.
11.3.2.8 Source Issue #8—No Space Between Images
Use line breaks (<br/>) to avoid images rendered without space.
Example:
<object type="image/png" src="image1.png"/>
<br/>
<object type="image/png" src="image2.png"/>
11.3.2.9 Source Issue #9—Images Not Shown In Separate Pages
To display images on separate pages, use separate chapters for each image.
11.3.2.10 Source Issue #10—TOC Not Shown
To ensure that the TOC is shown, include all of the important links in <special_page_link>.
Example:
<special_page_link>
<special_page title="Chapter 1">PG1111</special_page>
<special_page title="Chapter 2">PG1112</special_page>
