Thanks for clarifying what SLR is, well, I tried that when when I send my ePub to Kindle Previewer it converts the book and opens up the cover page instead of the second page which is first.html

I'm using this code:
Code:
<guide>
    <reference href="Text/first.html" title="Start Reading" type="text"/>
  </guide>
My ePub is version 3 and validated using idpf validator.

EDIT: Alright! I got it working by adding
Code:
id="start"
to the first element on the page and revising my <guide> to this:
Code:
<guide>
    <reference href="Text/first.html#start" title="Start Reading" type="text"/>
  </guide>
Thanks NotJohn for providing those thread. Thanks Doitsu!
