Hum. Not sure we're talking about the same objective.
English is not my native language, so I'll try to explain clearly my wish here :
When opening an unread ebook, i want the Glo to open it at the very first page (usually a Cover picture), and this, regardless the TOC entry.
Currently, the epub renderer is opening the page pointed by the first TOC entry, which annoys me.
Now, on Glo it seems that the kepub renderer opens the book as i wish, at the very first page, regardless the TOC...
But personally i have some problems with the kepub renderer and prefer to use the epub renderer (i won't enter in details. too long to explain and off-topic anyway)
So, the simplest workaround I found for now was a mix of the advices that people gave on this topic:
I ended by adding a single line (<navPoint><navLabel><text>Cover</text></navLabel><content src="cover.xml"/></navPoint>), pointing to the cover page in the TOC .ncx file to do the trick.
I'm fine with this solution, but it lack 2 points that could be added to improve it:
1. To find a way to use the epub renderer to open an unread book at the first page, without having to add a TOC entry, or at least, not visible from the TOC. But this point is no big deal, and maybe its even bad. Being able to restart from page 1 from the TOC may be an advantage. so, not sure about this point eventually.
2. automated script to add that line inside the TOC (.ncx file) on the fly while transfering the ebook from the calibre librairy to the Glo.
This said, still wanting/hoping the firmware to be fixed by Glo's devs and to open first page as default like in the kepub renderer, without having to mess around like now !
But the best would be to have it optional:
The Glo really lack of optional basic choices. People should be able to choose that kind of behavior by themselves, like they do already for the pages refresh, the fonts sizes, ect...
I really hope Glo devs will take this request in account.
