Cover shows perfectly in iBooks so not sure y kobo messes that up. No worries easily corrected. Pages show more in iBooks than on the kobo.

That made me look at my own book more closely. I'm sorry for getting technical, but the guide section of the opf has no cover defined. Kobo is doing exactly the right thing by taking the first displayed page as the 'cover'. The real question is, why are Calibre and Ibooks able to correctly figure out the real cover. (I guess a file named Cover.html kind of gives it away, but technically, the filename can be arbitrary.)
