Yes I wanted to set the start to the very first piece of text (not necessarily the cover itself, but immediately after) and as far as Amazon's Guidelines suggest, then the start point can be set (though they don't specific the technical process for this).

BUT what they don't explain is that it would need to be set in a specific way, as if it comes before the TOC then they will override that and make the start point happen after the TOC (and it looks like the first Anchor).

As you say, I haven't tried "in the middle of some text" before the TOC in which case, would it work?

I'm not sure it would, as the rep's response (in my post #142) seemed to suggest they would always look at the "Start of content" as being after the TOC and therefore will force that if there isn't one already.

I had a response back from my "yes" response to their offer to reset the SRL:

With regards to the "Start Reading Location," We'll need a little time to look into the request.

We'll contact you with more information within 4-5 business days.

Thanks for your patience.
You certainly learn something everyday in the world of self-publishing!
