Yes, working fine on that side.

Actually, I got distracted of the initial problem by trying to fix this cover thing. The most problematic case, the one that caught my attention, was a book I opened earlier today and it skipped a couple pages of text to start right on the first <h2> tag. So the problem was bigger than just the cover display, which I can live with. Now I know that the problem has nothing to do with the <h2> tag (or my other hypothesis: the 'page-break-before' part).

Having remembered the most crucial part of the problem, I went to edit that book with my new knowledge—the "preface" reference in the OPF guide+the <a id> in the first file of the book... and Kindle Previewer opened the converted mobi file on the page right after the cover. Which is fine, I guess.

I just didn't want the people to open my books on, say, page 5 and miss the beginning (quotes, etc.) just because of bad formatting.

I'll forget about Kindle opening a book right on cover—I spent way too much time on this already.

And a big thanks to you all—this forum is really full of helpful people.

Edit: Grrrr... I don't understand this. When I posted this, I had tested the file with Kindle Previewer, and it worked: opened the book on the page right after the cover. Now I just tried with my Kindle directly, and it did the same it did this morning: book is opened where main text begin, right on the first <h2> tag. But that is enough for today...
