in the content.opf file of an ePub file that I'm working on now - the 'other.start' is because the Flightcrew ePubchecker said that 'start' is not an acceptable reference type in the OPF standards.

When I convert the book to mobi with the latest version of calibre it still doesn't open at the cover page.

What am I doing wrong?
"other.start" won't work with calibre. It has to be type "start" for calibre to work it's magic. I just use the Tweak ePub feature of calibre to add the "start" reference to the OPF before I convert the epub to mobi, then I use it again after to remove the "start" reference if I need the epub to be fully compliant.
