          <page name=”” href=”OPS/cover.xhtml”/>
          <page name=”i” href=”OPS/preface.xhtml”/>
          <page name=”ii” href=”OPS/preface.xhtml#pg_ii”/>
          <page name=”iii” href=”OPS/preface.xhtml#pg_iii”/>
          <page name=”1” href=”OPS/chapter1.xhtml”/>
          <page name=”2” href=”OPS/chapter1.xhtml#pg_1”/>
          <page name=”3” href=”OPS/chapter1.xhtml#pg_2”/>
          <page name=”4” href=”OPS/chapter2.xhtml”/>
          <page name=”5” href=”OPS/chapter2.xhtml#pg_1”/>
</page-map>
If this file isn't present, then Abobe uses its "fake page" algorithm for pages. My impression has been that the page-break file is rarely present, but I don't typically have a paper version to compare to.
Thanks. I've never seen a book that does that.
