: Re: How well is SVG (being a "pixel image" alternative) supported? I didn't mention it in my previous question because it's an image format made of vectors, but would SVG provide a usable alternative

This article from 2013 says:

for some reason, SVG image support in modern products is still a kind of an afterthought, and it shows. The EPUB standards authors were nice enough to include support for these files in the EPUB standards, which is great in principle, yet they included content negotiation mechanisms so that SVG support is still technically optional. This in turn means that the content authors are forced to include alternatives for their SVG content in case the ebook reader author couldn't be arsed to support this format.

But newer versions of ADE seem to support SVG even on the spine.

Then again, how many people buy a new eBook reader every year (or make updates). So we will have to deal with older devices for quite some time...
