NJ: Amazon's usage details basically tell them that no matter what they, or authors or publishers want, most readers do NOT read any frontmatter. Trying to force your reader to the frontispiece or first "page" is just swimming upstream.

I think I was uploading html at that time, and probably no included cover, so yes, most likely it was the first thing in the book.
Huh! If I HAD included a cover, d'you think the KDP would have suppressed that and left the frontispiece alone?

I think if you did it the right way--created an ePUB with a cover in the images folder with the correct metadata, but no cover "page," per se, then, yes, that's exactly what I think would happen. But again: the SRL (Start Reading Location, rather than SLR) will show up most likely on the first full page of text after the TOC.
FWIW.
