By that logic, every time I reopen the book it should go to the cover. After all, there is no way for me to open that physical book without seeing the cover first
There has been a lot of discussion about this over the years. A lot of people want to skip the front matter and go straight to the text. The epub standards has ways to specify where to start, but they are optional. Most ereader apps seem to ignore them or make up their own rules.

Polish epubs, or Modify epubs, or a Calibre plugin, or a feature in Calibre-convert, all good candidates for a additional option.

Yes, they would all be reasonable places to do this. You just need to convince the authors of one to do it. Or do it yourself and supply them for inclusion.

It's a shame that Kobo's epub software doesn't do this.

Personally, I do prefer to start from the cover, but I can see reasons not to. One advantage of the way they do it is that you can change the ToC in the book to your preferred opening location. But, the kepub renderer opens new books from the cover, so if you send books as kepubs, that will solve the problem for you .
