the ereader has no need to reload previous or subsequent files

On iPad1 and iPad3 (iBooks) when you change the font-size the whole book seems to reload, the scroller on the bottom does the animation of loading the book and it takes the same amount of time for the animation to end as it does when a book is loaded the first time, so I think you're wrong on the fact that only the chapter gets reloaded, on the iPads, I am not sure about other readers, I haven't checked.

odedta mayn't already know that in an ePUB, it's common that each chapter = file, as well as each section of frontmatter, so, no: the entire book doesn't reload. Only the file in which the reader currently is, reloads. Not the whole book, unless it's extremely short or poorly made, and the entire thing is in a single file.

My ePubs are always made to separate files. Thanks for the reference to Amazon's guidelines, that nails it for me
