Recently, I have encountered several ebooks that opened immediately to Chapter 1 when I first started them. In each case, there was material before Chapter 1 that I would have missed: an author's preface, an introduction, even an epigraph that set the tone for the book. Whenever I start a book, I automatically use the navigation to go right to the front cover and then page my way through the frontmatter in order not to miss anything. I'm wondering if others are also irked by books that shart at Chapter 1.
