This really leaves me wondering what to do now. I could go back and trash all the frontispieces in all my previous (and forthcoming) books -- and maybe use the pics elsewhere in the book -- but at the same time I also find that if a reader starts with the title (i.e. first) page of the book on the left page (if you're viewing in two-page mode, if your reader can do that), then it looks crappy to have the title page there, on the left, with the table of contents or CIP data or whatever on the right.
It's a shame that all the various device manufacturers can't at least come to a concensus on this. Has there ever been any sort of list put together on how various devices and/or apps behave in that way, whether they show the first page on the left, or on the right (when in two-page mode)? At least one could maybe then design for the "majority".
I'm really in a conundrum over what to do now. In ADE on my PC, the frontispiece and title page are still opposite each other, but now in iBooks they aren't -- that really sucks (for a nit-picker like me). :/
