Completely agree. Chapter Art gives the book an air of distinction and doesn't hurt the reading.

I love it when the end of a chapter has a little tasteful picture (think an artsy wavy line for example).

That's called "fleurons" and in the "Symbola" font I found lots of them to use in my books. (Fortunately "Symbola" is free).

Or something very small for scene changes, like the *** thing, but perhaps made to look nicer.

That's called "dividers". Also in "Symbola" you can find lots of them.

Me too

In general, I agree with you; to me, chapters art, drop caps, dividers and fleurons are a "must be" in ebooks.
