I'm converting some books from Word to ebooks, by firstly making a valid ePub version and then converting it to mobi with calibre.

Thanks to help on the forum I now know how to avoid having two covers appear. But a problem remains in that when the Kindle ebook is first opened the cover page does not appear as the first page. The cover page is an item in the TOC, and I've set calibre to add a TOC. The cover page is there; it can be called from the TOC.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get the cover page to appear when the Kindle ebook is first opened?

Regards, Alex
