Amazon actually recommends using a metadata entry with a
name="cover" attribute to mark the cover image.
For example:
Code:
<meta content="cover.jpg" name="cover" />
(The
content attribute value is the cover image manifest id.)
If you create epub3 books, you'll need to mark cover images in the OPF manifest section with a
properties="cover-image" attribute.
For more information see section 4.2 of the
Kindle Publishing Guidelines.
IIRC, Sigil will automatically add the proper attribute(s) if you use the cover image semantics option.
