Books Starting at Chapter 1

This works 100% of time here:

If the source of your sideloaded book is an EPUB or AZW3, you can check the opf file for the <guide> section and set the bold entry:

<guide>
    <reference href="text/part0002.html#unrHhdowLssGAxfyCOhMBbB" title="start" type="text"/>
    <reference href="titlepage.xhtml" title="Cover" type="cover"/>
    <reference href="text/part0034.html#uAaqBmMhAvqGpEMFJtLckR9" title="Table of Content" type="toc"/>
</guide>

It doesn't matter the title, the file name, the ID (#someID) or anything like that. What matter is type="text". The file referenced with this type is going to be the first page displayed when you first open the book on your kindle device.

If you have an EPUB3 file, it usually has the same <guide> section in the opf, but in case it doesn't, you must look for the TOC file (usually toc.xhtml; to be sure: it is marked on the opf with properties="nav"). There, look for this:

<nav hidden="" id="landmarks" epub:type="landmarks">
    <h1 class="calibre4" id="calibre_pb_1">Guia</h1>
    <ol class="calibre5">
      <li class="calibre6">
        <a class="calibre7" href="cover_page.xhtml" epub:type="cover">Capa</a>
      </li>
      <li class="calibre6">
        <a class="calibre7" href="part0000.xhtml#aid-1" epub:type="titlepage">Folha de rosto</a>
      </li>
      <li class="calibre6">
        <a class="calibre7" href="part0088.xhtml#uDGp5c4xU8pnuYlEtOpUzGE" epub:type="copyright-page">Página de créditos</a>
      </li>
      <li class="calibre6">
        <a class="calibre7" href="part0001.xhtml#toc" epub:type="toc">Sumário</a>
      </li>
      <li class="calibre6">
        <a class="calibre7" href="part0003.xhtml#udUOo9WWW6Y5YZFfflORBe3" epub:type="bodymatter">Início</a>
      </li>
    </ol>
  </nav>

Here, you need to set the RED entry. The property used is epub:type="bodymatter". Again: it doesn't matter the text between the tags, the file name, the ID (#someID) or anything like that. Just use epub:type="bodymatter" to reference the file you want to be first viewed.

I'll give this a try with my PW3 and KF8.

I just checked with a bunch of books that I recently sent to my Kindle cloud (epubs emailed from Calibre) and they all open at the cover on my Oasis. I have no idea what I may have done differently than other people, but in my case, it's definitely working.

I find it quicker to just page-back to the first page, than to spend the time editing the book to try and make it open on the first page. I can see spending the time to get a book to open on the page you desire if you are publishing the book for many other people to read. But as an individual reader, I personally don't think the effort is worth it. I find fonts, paragraph indents, and things like that fall into the same category. I rapidly adjust to whatever the default is when I start a new book at least 95% of the time. For those other times where the defaults are too ugly for me to stand, I will go in and edit the book. First I'll try using the controls built into the Kindle firmware (font, size, spacing, boldness, etc.) and if that doesn't work to my satisfaction, then I'll move on to editing in Calibre.

If any of these eBooks is in KF8 format, please load one of them into the Calibre editor and copy the OPF file and paste it into a code block here please. Thanks.

If you're talking about the file named "content.opf" here is one. It's an epub, though, not KF8. This was sent to Amazon as an epub, without first converting it. Maybe that is the difference? I'll see if I can find an older one that was sent before it was possible to send epubs directly.

Here's a metadata.opf from a KF8 file. This is from a book that I created using epub split from a "boxed set" that I purchased and broke up:

    <dc:description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rebecca Schwartz, nice Jewish lawyer with a few too many fantasies, is happily playing the piano in a whorehouse when she suddenly finds herself assigned to make sure a near-naked state senator escapes a police raid. That dirty job done, a lovely evening turns even more delightful when she’s picked up by the cops and spends the next two hours at the Hall of Justice. Could this day get any worse? Of Course! Guess who arrives home to find a dead hooker on her living room floor? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Handsome Parker Phillips, Rebecca’s new beau and the most attractive man she’s met in ages, is arrested for the murder. (Worse, she suspects he might actually have done it.) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the plus side, another very attractive man is following the case--reporter Rob Burns of the San Francisco Chronicle, a possible ally. And there are other possibilities. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fans of Janet Evanovich, Joan Hess, and Elizabeth Peters will get a kick out of this one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>

What I am looking for it the OPF that you get when you edit the KF8 directly. It's the eBook that you downloaded to your Kindle that was from the ePub conversion. The idea is to see what's in the KF8 that's allowing it to open properly.

Did you try marking the entry for the cover with type="text" on the Guide section of the opf, as I suggested?

So would that be the second one that I posted? Or are you asking me to take the downloaded book off of my Kindle and look at the opf? (pretty much all of my books are sent to my Kindle either using email or the send to kindle app. The only time I *ever* connect my Kindle to my computer is when I am testing something for someone on MobileRead)

Yes, I am asking for the OPF from an eBook (that opens at the beginning) sent to your Kindle from an ePub source.

When adding that into an ePub and then converting to KF8, it works. Thank you.

Ok--this is the opf for the same book that I originally sent, but this time I took it off of my Kindle, rather than from Calibre:
