I don't use Sigil myself, but for example while creating an EPUB in Calibre, you can instruct it to insert a "screen break" before every heading. That way, you're guaranteed that a new chapter always begins on a new screen in Marvin and every other e-reader. You can instruct Calibre before which type of headings such a "screen break" should be inserted: only before big headings like <h1> and <h2>, or also before smaller headings of the <h3> and <h4> variety (which may not always look right).

OK, but that still doesn't explain why my own rating and review are never accepted by the App Store? Forgetting for a moment about Apple's imbecilic geographical isolation of App Stores for every country: because I submitted a 5-star rating for Marvin 1.2 to my App Store many days ago, Marvin's average rating should be 3.5 stars right now, yes? If that jerk gave Marvin 2 stars and I gave it 5 stars, that's 3.5 stars on average. Instead, my review and rating never show up, and Marvin's average rating in my micro-country's App Store is, therefore, 2 stars, based on a single troll's rating.

How Apple can be so monumentally stupid in running the App Store in this way, is beyond me. I just discussed this with a friend from my own country yesterday -- that Apple is a legendary company especially when it comes to hardware, but in terms of software, they have little to be proud of, in my opinion (disregarding ancient history): witness the plethora of awful default iOS apps, as well as the excruciating App Store.
