The best you can do is add the <reference type="text" /> entry to your OPF <guide>, but it's basically a crapshoot?

In other words, it doesn't matter if you convert to MOBI via KG, or you let KDP do it; the SRL is modified in the MOBI as part of the PW.
I realize that this may impact a title I am I/P on, because the start location is before the main TOC. What happens if you remove the
