If you do not have a cover image for your epub, the iPad should show the standard-view with author and title.
This was the problem that I had. I saw only the standard-book-cover though my epub contained a cover.jpg.
I had to do a workaround to make the iPad show the cover.
So I assume, if you do not have a cover, the iPad should automatically show the standard cover with author and title.
BTW: the workaround was the following line in the metadata section of the content.opf:
<meta name="cover" content="image_cover_jpg" />
where the value "image_cover_jpg" is the id of the cover-image in manifest-section.
