Getting Kindlebooks to consistently open where you want them to is deep dark magic that spawns page after page of advice that works for some and not for others. To make matters worse, the start point sometimes actually gets altered by Amazon after the book has been uploaded.

While much of the advice may be able to be experimented with when using Sigil, none of the methods are Sigil-specific--it's just standard epub stuff. Best to search the Workshop/Kindle forums for discussions on what to do to your epub to make Amazon maybe honor your wishes with regard to starting points.

Good luck!
