I’m trying to create my first Kindle book. It’s been built from the ground up and converted using the latest versions of epubpack and KindleGen.

All appears to be well and checks out; except for a problem with NCX view. If I drop the .mobi into the Kindle Previewer then it opens on the page set to the first in the Guide Section. So all is well.

However if I select NCX ‘Title’ it displays the cover picture and I cannot display the title page. The title page is definitely there because I can access it through the TOC.

If the Kindle Previewer is set to e-ink then using NCX view I can select and deselect ‘Title’ with no problem. I have a e-ink Kindle and the book behaves as it should on the physical device.

The Kindle PC Reader opens on the title page (not the one set as the first) and then shows the same behaviour as the Previewer except that the ncx menu now includes a ‘Cover’ item, which does in fact select the cover.

The TOC works fine.

Any help greatly appreciated.
