NO. That is 100% wrong, NJ.

All you have to do is remove the cover.html. Leave the cover.jpg (or whatever) image in the Files folder. Point to it, and assign the COVER semantics. Build MOBI. Voila. Do that, and you will NEVER have a double-cover.

We haven't had one in, geeze, I don't know, four years now? Which would be somewhere in the 2,000 book figure? I'm pretty sure, if it were going to happen, in that scenario, it already would have.

@Doits:

Yes. You are correct. Dead on. If you forget, and leave the cover.html or XHTML file in, it's a crapshoot. Sometimes, it suppresses the "extra" and sometimes, it doesn't. The safest method is, remove the cover.html file, and follow the rest of the destructions. :-)
