For an e-book, I limit the front matter to the cover (except for uploading to the KDP), the title page, and the table of contents. (The TOC is important to me. I spend a lot of time putting juicy titles on my chapters, for the benefit of those browsing the Look Inside sample.) I expect my books to open at the cover (they usually do, though not always) and while I want the shopper to see my handsome cover, dignified title page, and entrancing TOC, I don't want them delayed by Acknowledgements, Prologues, Forewords, and Introductions. Page one, Chapter One (not called that, of course) should start off with a bang.
