You can always go to the info page and jump directly to the cover if you want. But as I mentioned, that's not necessarily at the start of the book.
Yup, it is the wild wild west out there folks, far worse than the Beta/VHS/Laser Disc days. Competing devices, competing ebook formats, variations of ebooks formats, and variations of implementation of the formats. I assume in a decade or two it will all settle down, for now I just enjoy it.
