That would probably have to work on a per-device basis. If the ePub contains a cover, most readers display the cover as the first page- only the Kindle doesn't, to my knowledge. If the ePub doesn't contain a cover, the readers should fall back to whatever default cover they display or generate from the file (mine displays the filename in a somewhat unreadable fashion...). So, in order for this to work, Calibre would have to generate the thumbnail for the device and send it along with the book, which only works if the device caches thumbnails instead of generating them on the fly.

TL;DR: You'd have to change every device interface plugin. Probably won't happen, but you could try asking.
