Please offer any ideas as dumbed-down as possible; I'm not the savviest with these things!

I have an ePUB file I'm converting to AZW3. When I open the AZW3 on my Kindle, for some reason it thinks the 'Beginning' is one of the last pages of the book.

I've tried setting id="start" on the title page of the ePUB and using the XPATH //h:a[@name='start'], but when I convert it, the AZW3 still opens at the end of the book.

I've tried doing the same thing to the AZW3 file, and converting it again to AZW3, but that hasn't worked either.

I didn't think it would work, but I also tried deleting the toc and recreating it, and that did nothing.

Any suggestions?
