I had a month-long argument with Amazon about it which resulted not in Amazon changing the SRL, but instead, with us moving the frontmatter about so that the SRL was after the TOC, not before. This is the reason that I mentioned the entire matter.

Hi Hitch;
I understand your problem and your position. Just a thought; did you try to set the TOC
at the END of the book (that also has logic)? In that case, the SRL, by force, has to be BEFORE the TOC. By doing so, if the SRL must be AFTER the TOC, then Amazon will have to change not only the start reading but also the layout of the book and this would be to exceed the author's will.
