But here at least... everyone knows you can hit the back button and usually see the cover.
Mobi books can't open at the cover because the cover is part of the metadata and not the "text" of the book. All a mobibook designer has to do is place an inline image of the cover on the very first "page" of "text" and tell it to open there. Voila... cover art. |
I'm sorry, DiapDealer, I don't understand what you are saying. The ebooks I produce either have a Coverpage.html file which goes first in the toc.ncx file and first in the spine section of the config.opf file, or have a coverpage section as the first part of a Frontmatter.html file, which again is first in the toc.ncx and content.opf files. But the mobi ebooks still don't open at the cover.
Could you give me a little more detail please about how to make a mobi format book open at the cover?
