I have tried creating a cover in Calibre and Sigil and in both cases, the result is the same. Text for next chapter falls right below the picture of the cover. I have looked at the CSS but not sure what 'makes or breaks' the ability to have the cover on a separate stand-a-alone page.

In my ePub under Sigil, the cover is a separate html file called cover.

Any help would be appreciated.
IMHO this is a bad practice

Coverpage is semantic that is/can be applied to ONE file and ONE image . (there are other semantics that can be applied to files of differing purposes)

You have a huge Monolithic file: Cover-frontmater-bodytext...
Performance sucks on older readers (if they don't just choke on file of 260K+)
To emphasize my point: Default Calibre conversions will break huge files below 260K).

If you choose to ignore this advice, just Merge the files, remove the Page-break-before from the styles(eet)
