Re: "frontmatter" in the ncx toc, here's my theory.

Any item that is in the toc (HTML? and/or NCX? -- ours are usually identical), but preceeds the "start reading location" is assumed to be frontmatter. This, like all good theories, is based on one anecdotal instance in which all the usual epub-like guide items are there (title page, copyright, dedication, etc.) but don't appear in either TOC, yet there was one item in the TOC (a map) which wasn't in the guide, of course, but did end up in frontmatter.

And by the way since I have a FireHD but don't have a Fire, I wonder whether the different behaviors are reflected in the Kindle emulator?
