Not as far as I know. As far as the ereader is concerned, if there are entries in the TOC, the first entry is where the publisher wants the book to open. This fits in with Kobo's philosophy about following the publisher layout as far as possible.

Personally, when I edit an ebook, I remove the TOC entries prior to the first page I want to read so I can miss the cover page, the author's book list, blurbs about the publisher, dedication, etc.
