Well....I thought you were kidding, because we're discussing what Amazon does, in the PW (Publishing Workflow) to defeat our wishes, is what we were talking about, so...if a file isn't being submitted to Amazon, you just do what you want. See what I mean, why I asked? Didn't mean to sound snarky.

The Amazon processing, compiling, etc., done in the Publishing Workflow is what 'sets" the SRL, contrary to what others have done.

If you're NOT submitting it to the Zon, hell, you can set it wherever you wish, using the TEXT metadata/semantics. If you're using Sigil, for example, just set the semantics to the HTML section you wish--in the Book Browser, right-click, add semantics, Text.

You can try old-school, with the "Start" tag, in the HTML, but TEXT works as well, as far as I know.

HOWEVER, all of this assumes that the device you're using recognizes that. In my (rather endless) experiments, trying to make clients happy-happy-joy-joy, the Kindles seem to recognize the TEXT semantic as the SRL, when sideloaded.
