Kepubs open at the first page which is usually the cover. For an epub, the first time you open it, it will open at the first ToC entry. If you finish it and reopen it, it will open at the first page of the book.
Ok--I just checked again with an epub that was just added to my HD, and you're right--I apologize, and stand corrected. The other ones that I looked at were previously finished and then re-opened.

This supports the common observation that bestselling authors lose sales to giveaways, while giveaways increase sales to midlist authors. Bujold is bestseller by now.
