But you seem to be right: I have just removed the cover from an epub (made with Amanuensis). I deleted the cover page and the image with Sigil, and the first page is displayed instead. Maybe the default cover is only displayed with an unreachable image. I'll try with a 0-byte cover image, but this would be only a workaround...
[Later] You are absolutely right: I gave two tries, with a zero-byte cover image, then with no cover image at all (a practice I don't agree with), but the Kobo displays a white cover in both cases. It seems to display the default cover only while charging the epub cover, or when it does not find it.
So a "generic cover" option would be great.
Another useless feature: Reading life; why should I admire my reading performances, why should I be rewarded for a pleasure, why should I show this triumph to the whole world on Facebook? Just modern craziness...
