But basically, unless the cover image is present as part of the ebook's content, you can't get a reader to automatically open to that point. A Mobi's cover art is part of the metadata which you can't tell a reader to "open to."
Add a first page that contains the cover image inline (or add the cover image to the manifest) and mark that as the book's "start reading" point. |
I do have the cover image as part of the ebook content. When I open the epub in Sigil, the files are as follows:
Text
titlepage.xhtml
split_000.html
split_001.html
split_002.html
split_003.html
The titlepage.xhtml has the semantic "Cover" on Sigil and opens as "Cover" on my Kindle. split_000.html is the cover I added myself, which was previously opened to as "beginning" on my Kindle prior to the 3.1 update. split_001.html was the summary I created, 002.html the TOC and 003.html the first chapter.
My issue is that now after the update, my Kindle seems to skip over split_000.html through split_002.html and opening to the "beginning" just opens to split_003.html
I've tried to change the
<guide><reference href="cover.jpg" type="cover" title="Cover"/></guide> in the .opf file to
<guide><reference href="Text" type="Text" title="split_000.html"/></guide>, but after "send to device" on Calibre, it reverts back to the original.
