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>

I've tried to get eBooks on a Kindle to open at the first page or the cover and I cannot do it. Even if there's no guide, Kindles don't start at the first page. The problem is that you can miss things that you want to read as Amazon decides where you should start reading your book.
