Hmmm... I opened your file in KP, and indeed it seems to work okay in all the various Kindle devices that are available to try out there (although I hate the way that my transparent flower image is no longer "transparent" -- which for me is another reason to give up on trying to do my chapter titles this way).

However, I've attached here screenshots of how your epub looked in iBooks and in ADE. In iBooks, as you can see the "by Author" text comes out all funny, but even worse is ADE -- I don't get one page, but two pages! I've attached screenshots of both of those pages here.

I guess this is why I've given up on this, putting my chapter titles on a background image. I'm sure you'd probably be able to come up with a way that works, but it's all just too "buggy" for me, I think I'll just go a different way, and keep my chapter titles simple (i.e. "plain text", maybe with a nice picture ornament or something).

I guess my only concern/interest now is with regard to full-page images -- no text on top, just images -- and getting those to work okay.
