Very verbose, but down to the basics: I think the options have been covered and some transparency might be included in a Gimp 3.0 PDF as a "Soft Mask" If that is not acceptable, then so be it. Gimp is not for you.
I would be interested in what your software says about the attached PDF (it is zipped) A straight forward RGB jpeg from Gimp 3.0 but bundled into a PDF using ImageMagick.
From memory the KDP templates are aimed at vector application (Illustrator) or PS which has some vector support. Not really Gimp which is very much a raster editor. To use Gimp I think you will need a plugin that by-passes the cairo library files and uses some other method, maybe ghostscript.
Quote:...KDP will accept almost anything. It consistently prints a tad better (in terms of color fidelity and shadow detail) from sRGB than from CMYK....
That is good to hear, the local printing company I use, also wants RGB for a 10 colour inkjet. The usual proviso, bright colours are out-of-gamut and muted.
