But is there something in the ePUB specification that mandates new files to be displayed in a new "page"? Sure, it makes sense, and any ePUB reader I know of requires a "next page" to go to the next file, but there could be other reader that only forces a pagebreak when an explicit CSS page-break is found. If that were the case, and if it's allowed by the spec, splitting at chapters wouldn't necessarily mean chapters start at a new page (which, on the other hand, could be useful if for some reason one is forced to split a very long chapter in two or more files).
