Start location
As I understand it, one uses the "text" semantic to identify the start location in Sigil. This no longer seems to work when the epub is converted to a mobi file for sale on Amazon.
Personally, I would like my books to open at the cover, but if there is an included cover in the epub, then I assume it should be labeled "cover". Second choice would be the title page. I have tried that, and I have also tried inserting a page of reader/reviewer praise and labeling that "text", with no luck. The books now seem to open almost as random--at the cover, at the TOC, at chapter one, or often enough in the middle of a page.
The old id="start" seems to have stopped working some time ago.
Should I be working in the manifest rather than with the semantics tool?
I am most concerned with the book's appearance on the Kindle platform, because that's where three-quarters of my sales are.
