So....are we discussing Kindles or Kindle Apps or other reading devices, here? If we're talking Kindles, it doesn't show up; I just tested it on 3 different books we've created using "text" as shown above, and it doesn't display on K4PC or a K2 device.

And really--not to sound dismissive at all--it's enough brain-damage to try to code things around all the different reading devices as it is; if the main MOBI reading device/platform, Kindle, doesn't display it, I for one, don't care if it uses TEXT in lieu of "Start Reading."

I'd also add that MobiPocket (Creator) didn't create MOBI's, humorously enough; it created PRC's, and it is entirely possible that the PRC's may be different enough wherein they did display any guide items that were added--but KindleGen doesn't display that one. We'd need your Cybook, Jellby, to be sure if it was the format or the reader, I guess. Well, I'm off back to the Theraflu; I'll leave you guys to hash it out (pun intended).
