Hello
- this is my first post so if I've missed something obvious please excuse me!

I am making a non-copyright ebook for somebody using Sigil which I will then convert to mobi using Calibre - I've done this before.

I know that according to KDP Amazon don't recommend that you have the cover as the first page when making a book. Inspite of this it's something I'm trying to do!

I have found the code which needs to be inserted in the 'guide' part of the opf. file in Sigil - this is for having the preface as first page but is easily amended to cover:

<reference href="cover.html" type="cover" title="Cover">
<reference type="toc" title="toc" href="toc.html" >
<reference type="start" title="Preface" href="Preface.html" >

This works ok - but for some reason the cover image (600px x 800 px added to Sigil file) shows with a large white border when viewed on the Kindle

Sorry it's a long-winded post,

Please make any explanations very simple - I'm not very bright!

Thank you,

Robert

PS - I've seen this - but am not sure where the coding should be put and which prog. /file.?
