So I either need to have two sources, with a single HTML for Kindle, and a separate single HTML for EPUB and expect Calibre to do the splitting on the H tags, or a HTML for each chapter for EPUB (which I don't want to do with my 382 chapter project...).

Hmm, wonder if I can just tell Calibre to split on the <mbp: pagebreak /> tag instead of the H tag...

Thanks for all the help.
EPUB does NOT have any problem with properly formed Anchors or referrals.

Some devices have a 260K single file (inside the EPUB), so splitting on chapter breaks makes a nice place to keep things under limits.
