I am creating epub files in Sigil.
When I load them to my Kobo Touch, the thumbnail of the cover is in the menu, but when the book is selected, the first thing that show up is the first page that is not the cover. This page is usually in the TOC. Many of the books I am working with have beautiful pictorial covers and I would like people to be able to see them. Right now, you can swipe backwards once you open the file and it will show you the cover, but most folks will never do that. Does Kobo default to the first page in the TOC or just the first non cover page? Is there a way to make it show the cover as the default first page?
