I have (had) lots of epubs that had a cover image that the calibre editor showed marked as a cover image. When the book is converted to kepub and sent to the kobo, the kobo displays it on the home screen as a cover image, but when the book is opened, it treats the first html file in the book as the cover page, which is extremely annoying if it is suppose to be text to read.
The conversion from epub to kepub should wrap the cover image in an html file, even if that file is not included as part of the text.
The kobo wants an html for the kepub cover, not an image.
At least, that's what I've been told is in the kepub specs.
And yes, a lot of gutenberg books are a mess in general.
