In converting to the .prc format using Mobipocket Creator, when I open the ebook, it doesn't open at the cover. I'd like it to open at the cover. Seems kind of pointless to add a nice cover if it's obscured by the way the book is displayed.

I played around with the Guide option but realized it doesn't tell the book where to open; it just gives you more options on where to go.

Is there a way to tell the ebook reader "begin the book at the beginning -- at the cover"?

Thanks in advance,

It is likely that the MBP file is causing what you see. Generally the cover is shown the first time the eBook is opened and the .mbp file is created at the same time. After that the cover is bypassed. I suspect the act of creation caused the .mbp to be built. Erase it and try again.
