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?
When reading epubs, your Kobo should be defaulting to the first entry in the TOC the first time you read the book. So if the TOC's first entry is Chapter 1, your ebook would open on Chapter 1.

You can edit the TOC but do some reading first.
