Well, as I said, I found that if I included a cover and labeled it text, the book would indeed open there on my Fire HD, which is the only reading device I regularly use. And I did have a TOC (after the cover, natch!).

(But then I also had two covers, sigh.)

@Hitch: yes, I do often get books opening in the middle of the TOC, with the full TOC occupying less than a "page". Say 12 chapter titles plus the heading.

But I don't really mind. I have learned to put nothing in front of the TOC (including sometimes the title page). And I can actually use this to my advantage, where I have some enticing blurbs from earlier reviews: I know the shopper on Amazon will see them in the Look Inside sample (which always opens at the cover) but the buyer won't be forced to page past them on his gadget.

As me old Da used to say: Not a ditch to die in.
