I see. I converted a book I got from Amazon - a book that opens at the first chapter - and noticed the "other.start" bit when I looked at its OPF file, so I wondered if I needed the same thing.

Oh, that was just an example I pasted from https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/OPF - what I'm actually trying to do is set the SRL to my first chapter. It's so weird, because in my latest attempt, my Kindle Paperwhite will go to the first chapter if I choose "Beginning" from the "Go to" menu...but when I first opened the book, it starts at the Copyright page instead >_<

Obviously there's a way to do this properly, because books I've bought or KU-borrowed from Amazon open at the first chapter automatically...so what I have they got in their guide file that I don't? : (
