But that gives you two covers, which IMHO is a worse outcome.

(I let my books convert on the KDP. Perhaps KindleGen would give a better result?)

There are a couple of threads on MobileReads on this subject.

No. KG does not give you a better result. The infamous, "opens in the middl e of the TOC," (*or more accurately, at the end of the TOC, or last screen thereof) issue is still quite real if you upload a MOBI, or an ePUB. Obviously, I don't have firsthand knowledge of what happens with a Word file.
