Karlin, We aren’t using SVG. We are using PNG files generated by LilyPond. Rather than scale the images, we generate them specifically for tablet sizes. The Android tablet eBooks are sized differently than the iPad eBooks because of the different aspect ratios of the devices. You can see that if you compare the same score on Amazon and on iTunes. We also build scores for our Android application, ScoreMaestro. The eBooks we have produced are a subset of our ScoreMaestro inventory. If you have an Android tablet, you can download ScoreMaestro (it’s free) from either Amazon or Google Play depending on whether your tablet is a Kindle Fire or another Android tablet. Once you download the app, you can download a score free to try it out from within the application. ScoreMaestro (see http://www.scoremaestro.com for more details) is a complete score management application. You can display scores in two sizes and in either portrait or landscape mode. Score pages are rendered to fit the size/orientation combination. One advantage of ScoreMaestro over our eBooks is that you can annotate your ScoreMaestro scores. These annotations can also be shared, for example with other members of a choir. Let me know if you have other questions.
