The KePub reader assumes that the first HTML file of the book is a cover page and automatically displays it in a special full-screen mode that is only suitable for images. If the publisher has included other material in the first HTML file after the cover, then that gets displayed full-screen too.

If you know how to do it then editing the book and splitting it into seperate files so that the first HTML file contains nothing but the cover image should fix the problem, or if the book doesn't have a proper cover page then using Calibre to add one is usually faily easy. Otherwise siideload the book as an ePub instead, as the ePub reader doesn't have this problem.

(Although if the publisher has combined the cover with other material into one file, then chances are they will have done the same thing in other parts of the book such as including multiple chapters in one file, and that can cause other problems with things like TOC and reading stats.)
