I think by default a Kindle device or Kindle viewer will open to the place marked as type="text" in the <guide> section, or to the first text file in the ebook (typically the title page) if the "text" semantic is not set. It doesn't generally open to the cover, though there may be a way to force it to do so.
OTOH, the MS-Windows Mobipocket reader does open to the cover initially, IIRC.
BTW is the cover accessable in the "go to" menu?
