Over the years, there have been many threads started by readers, authors, and book makers about the start reading location, and many of these have expressed a strong desire that the location be the cover. It is frequently stated that just can not be done.

I recently bought Guns, Germs, and Steel on sale for $2.99 (, sale price still good), and imagine my surprise when it opened at the cover. (Actually, location 2, but that is the cover image.)

So, is amazon playing some kind of game?
