I just received an email from BlueFire support (This was one of the apps I was having problems with) stating that they always use the first page as a cover. So it seems that there is at least one iOS app that wouldn't display a "defined cover" cover unless it was also simply an image on the first page.

Here's their reply:

Bluefire Reader reads the first page of ePubs as the cover. This may
change in the future, as we are always looking for ways to improve the
App, but for now, for your custom cover to appear, it will need to be set
as the first page of your ePub.
If I understand that correctly a cover "defined as a cover" (and not page one) would not show in BlueFire no matter what.....

I'm simply going to continue what I'm doing. Both a defined cover and also a "cover.jpg" at the beginning of the file. In the current state of things this seems to be the "most compatible" with readers and best method to get a cover to appear from most all apps.

Thank you very much for your offer to help. I appreciate it very much.
