It only took me a day or two to change this on Feedbooks.
But I agree: for some books it's almost impossible to divide them into multiple flows. For example, open a book from Proust: you won't find a single page break and they're barely divided into 2 or 3 parts.
Yeah, Proust, Joyce, Miller, Burroughs, Kerouac... we could make a Modern Library of titles that have to be altered. If it's a software thing, fine, but "Best Practices?" Where's the honesty?
