Getting iPad to open an ebook at its cover

Before I start, Moderator, would it be possible to add an option when starting a new thread to show that this problem relates to iPads? Like they do on the Apple subforum?

I've just got an iPad, and am trying to work out how to get the ebooks I produce to open at their covers, rather than at a generic cover. I know it is possible since I've downloaded some ebooks from the iBooks store, and they all show in iTunes at their individual covers.

I've opened up one of these files and looked at its content.opf, and have modified the content.opf for one of my ebooks to see if that makes a difference. But it doesn't work; the ebook still shows the generic cover when I open the iBooks library.

I've attached the content.opf file; could some kind soul please look at it and show me what I've done wrong?

Be warned however: I'm having so much problems with Apple ePub that there will be more questions - like Mignon's earlier post about that damn iTunesMetadata.plist file.
