I really am confused. The reader doesn't see the guide items in a TOC in any event, whether they're called "text" or "start reading" or "Bob's-yer-Uncle," so I am totally lost here as to the nits being picked. The only point of "text" or "start reading" or "Bob" is that it links to the spot to open the book--the human reader doesn't SEE it. So what information are they garnering from what it's named?

The reader sees every entry in the guide by title in the MOBI content menu.
With the following guide
Code:
<guide>
<reference type="cover" title="Cover" href="Text/COVER.xhtml"/>
<reference type="title-page" title="Title Page" href="Text/TITLE_PAGE.xhtml"/>
<reference type="toc" title="Table Of Contents" href="Text/Table%20of%20Contents.xhtml"/>
<reference type="loi" title="List Of Illustrations" href="Text/List%20of%20Illustrations.xhtml"/>
<reference type="text" title="Text" href="Text/FRONTPIECE.xhtml"/>
</guide>
the user will see:
Title Page
Table of contents
List of Illustrations
Text
First Page
Cover
And the book will open at the cover.
If the last line is changed to
Code:
<reference type="text" title="Start Reading" href="Text/FRONTPIECE.xhtml"/>
Text will be change to Start Reading
And the book will open at the cover.
If the line is changed to
Code:
<reference type="start" title="Start Reading" href="Text/FRONTPIECE.xhtml"/>
the user will see Start Reading and the book will open at the Start Reading point (FRONTPIECE) as per standard MOBI.
