Why don't Kindles display cover images?
Is there something you can put in the html to fix this? I want a newly opened ebook to display the cover image first, then the copyright page, then a table of contents, then the beginning of the book.

It is just not possible. There were several threads about it here on MR. The best you can do is to open at the first page after the cover which can contain the cover picture. Maybe Amazon will fix this in the future...

A Kindle book will open at the point that the information in the book tells it to open at.

How do you tell it where to open at? Is there something you need to put in the html?

You need to add an anchor to the HTML at the point that you want it to open at:
Code:
<A name="start_reading /> Code:
<reference type="other.ms-firstpage" title="Start Reading" href="book.html%23start_reading"></reference> Title: Start Reading Type: other.ms-firstpage Filename: book.html#start_reading and then click the "Update" button at the bottom of the page. Last edited by HarryT; 02-04-2011 at 10:15 AM. |

Just to add to that, the default behaviour is opening at the first page after the cover.
So if you want to do the "fake cover" as described above, all you need in most cases is adding the cover image as the first page of the book (given that it was not set to open on a specific page previously). Last edited by janvanmaar; 02-04-2011 at 10:31 AM. |
