The books that skip the cover and/or other pages probabably all have a guide section in the content.opf
Code:
<guide>
<reference href="Text/cover.htm" title="Cover page" type="cover" />
<reference href="Text/title.xhtm" title="Title page" type="title-page" />
<reference href="Text/copyright.xhtml" title="Copyright page" type="copyright-page" />
<reference href="Text/TOC.xhtml" title="Contents" type="toc" />
<reference href="Text/Acknowledgments.xhtml" title="Acknowledgments" type="acknowledgements" />
<reference href="Text/Introduction.xhtml" title="Preface (by author)" type="preface" />
<reference href="Text/Index.xhtml" title="Index" type="index" />
<reference href="Text/Notes.xhtml" title="Note" type="notes" />
</guide>
If a reader supports it it will skip the cover page, because opening on a cover takes much time because a picture must be loaded and sometimes rescaled. Consumes more battery power than regular text pages.
A book normally opens on the type= "title-page" skipping all other non type="text" pages before the title page.
