I'm re-releasing a novella of mine as a self-published ebook shortly, and I'm wondering what to do with the traditional "front matter" of the book: copyright information, dedications, acknowledgements, etc. In an e-book format, would it be acceptable to have those things in the _back_ of the book rather than the front? The reason for this is that most ebook sales systems allow for a certain percentage of the book to be read up-front by browsers, and if you put all of these miscellanies in the _front_ of the book, then you're giving up several pages out of the sample for something that most readers will simply skip over. Is there some other legal or practical reason why I couldn't move these things to the end of the ebook?
