There is a section of the opf file inside the book called the "guide". It can tell the reading software where to start reading. Some readers don't use it, but I believe Kindle does. If you do a conversion you can control this in the Structure Detection section of the options -- look at the section titled "Start reading at (XPath expression)".
You can also change this with the Editor if it is an azw3 file. Open the book with the editor, then open the content.opf file. The Guide is down near the bottom. Here is what it might look like with just the cover page in place as the start reading point:
<guide>
<reference href="text/titlepage.xhtml" title="Cover" type="cover"/>
</guide>
But you can just empty it:
<guide>
</guide>
