When satisfied, I save it as [novel name]undivided.epub, around 1,000KB, and keep on doing that until it looks as-good-as-it-gets in ADE. Only then do I divide it into cover, title page, contents, prelims, chapter1 ... etc. Unsurprisingly, this also works as I want in ADE (and makes a good mobi in Calibre). So the question is: Why do I need to divide the book at all? The html links from Contents to each chapter and to some individual elements within chapters all work perfectly. Are there ebook readers that can't handle 1,000KB?

Because performance will suck on many older, dedicated devices
if it runs at all.
260K max file (split) size is the rule of thumb.
IMHO, there is no solid reason not to start with a split up book. That is what the 'All HTML files' search is for
I work on a single split (current file mode) and if that S&R is solid, I loosen up the limits to 'Selected' or 'All'
