Cover photo in Reader?
-
Is there any way to choose which picture becomes the cover picture in the reader without making it the featured image?
I like to put several photos/videos throughout my posts (not at the top like a featured image), but sometimes I want to choose which one becomes the cover photo. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance for your help! :)

No. As you have already noticed, we bloggers do not get to choose what displays in the Reader. The hierarchy has been established by Staff and we bloggers cannot alter it.
Currently, when a post with the Standard, Aside, Link, Quote, or Status post format contains a video or audio embed, that embed is pulled out and used in the Reader. Otherwise, it uses an image from the post.
If the post has the Gallery or Image post format, a video or audio embed in that post would not be used in the Reader – one or more images would be used instead. When the Reader looks for an image, it goes for the featured image first and then an image inserted into the post — if there are no images that meet the size criteria I mentioned above, it will display the image as a thumbnail instead of a large image.
