With these settings, they always made the first page as the cover with these when I update or add fics. With the way I've configured the title page using add_to_output_css, titlepage_start, titlepage_end and such, they work quite well as the cover. Readable when viewing on my phone and I can read the summary right from the cover. Then I just change the title page's CSS using Kybook's own stylesheet injection.

[epub]
## include images from img tags in the body and summary of stories.
## Images will be converted to jpg for size if possible.  Images work
## in epub format only.  To get mobi or other format with images,
## download as epub and use Calibre to convert.
include_images:true

## If set, the first image found will be made the cover image.  If
## keep_summary_html is true, any images in summary will be before any
## in chapters.
make_firstimage_cover:false

jpg_quality: 100
## jpg or png
## -- jpg produces smaller images, and may be supported by more
## readers, but it's older and doesn't allow transparency.
## Transparency removed as if remove_transparency: true
## -- png is newer but does allow transparency, but only in CLI.
## It doesn't work in calibre PI due to limitations of the API.
convert_images_to: png

## Remove transparency and fill with background_color if true.
remove_transparency: false

## This switch prevents FanFicFare from doing any processing on the images.
## Usually they would be converted to jpg, resized and optionally made
## grayscale.
no_image_processing: true

And under the Calibre Cover tab in FFF's settings I have Update Calibre Cover (from EPUB) set to Yes, Always. Though I only download fics from AO3 so I'm not sure how other sites handle images.
