There is no "proper cover" in ePUB, it's just the first page, and the first page cannot be a bare image, it must be wrapped in XHTML. The <meta name="cover"> element is often used by some programs to generate a cover thumbnail, and there you do reference an image file, but in the main book (the <spine>) you can only use XHTML documents.
