I have done all the work in html, then imported it into Sigil and validated it before creating my epub file.

I have added html to one page to make it the start page -

<p class="large" id="start">

I have used this code on other books and they have worked fine. But now whenever I upload this epub file into the Kindle previewer it always opens at a different page than the one I specified as the start page.

I have even gone back to the epub file and added Title page in the symantics but still it doesn´t make any difference.

I am using the latest version of Sigil and also the latest version of Kindle Previewer but I cannot work out why this wont open at the page I have coded as being the start page.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks
Nigel
Nigel:

Not that this is a Sigil or ePUB issue (mods--maybe you should move this to the Kindle formats forum), but, precisely, please, what is the order of your frontmatter, from the cover back to Ch1, and on which page did you place the start id? And make sure you include the location of your inline TOC, please. And advise which page *appears* to be your start page.
