I've just finished editing my eBook with Sigil, and then I discovered that it's on it's last legs and the author has advised that we move to Calibre. I understand that another author has picked it up, but that's not why I'm here. I was reading the Editor User Guide for Calibre and found this text:
Quote:
E-books typically have a cover image. This image is indicated in the Files Browser by the icon of a brown book next to the image name. If you want to designate some other image as the cover, you can do so by right clicking on the file and choosing Mark as cover.
In addition, EPUB files has the concept of a titlepage. A title page is a HTML file that acts as the title page/cover for the book. You can mark an HTML file as the titlepage when editing EPUBs by right-clicking. Be careful that the file you mark contains only the cover information. If it contains other content, such as the first chapter, then that content will be lost if the user ever converts the EPUB file in calibre to another format. This is because when converting, calibre assumes that the marked title page contains only the cover and no other content.

Where is the Title Page used as a Cover page? I cannot find any reference to this in the ePub guidelines and the comments here really are confusing me.
I have a cover image of course, and the information on my current "title page" is the copyright, author and publisher information.
