Why? Given that there's a Go To for the cover? If you leave that link in, for ePUB on iBooks, it won't display there, either. It's a bit of kerfuffle for no return, isn't it?

For these books the client is a Mac person and serves the epub from his own site for iBooks, and also wants Kindle for Amazon, though I suspect sells very few.

Thanks. I'll see if I can work them out.
Sorry--I don't think I understand what you want media queries or conditionals for. Is this because you don't want to take your ePUB file, and tweak it, a bit, for conversion to MOBI? You want One ePUB to Rule Them All? Without tweakage?

As I mentioned, the cover-on-the-TOC thing is moot. Doesn't work in MOBI (in fact, if you leave it in, as you've coded it, you can encounter the dreaded double cover problem); and if your client is a Mac/iPad person, that particular TOC item won't show up on the TOC, either. So, why put it on the TOC? If you don't, you solve two issues at once.

Can you advise exactly what you're trying to avoid? What step?
