Well, in iBooks it does, when you're in two-page landscape mode -- it's basically like a print book.
"Technically", I'm certainly not averse to putting my CIP there, but it's just that I'd gone ahead with that idea of having it at the back instead, and came up with a design that works so wonderfully in that way -- putting it back at the beginning again (i.e. an extra "page" at the beginning) throws everything outta wack, at least when viewed in that two-page mode. I suppose it doesn't matter for readers that don't do that in the same way that iBooks does.
I guess maybe I'll just have to call LAC on Monday (unless anyone else has any thoughts/experience with this, i.e. they've published here in Canada with the CIP at the back and didn't encounter any heat from LAC).

I, too, tend to peruse the front matter of any book I pick up, but I suspect that isn't a good recommendation for normality  . I couldn't say why I started doing it, but these days it's almost a ritual (what was that I was saying about normality?  )

That's comforting -- I don't quite feel so alone in my abnormality.
