In truth, it would have been better if the publisher had divided the chapters by all the smaller subdivisions within each chapter. Say, is there a simple way for me to do that? I tried playing around a little with the Calibre epub editer, but couldn't find a simple "split the file at this location" tool.
The split tool is ONLY in Book view window. Lower corner: looks like a folded page.
Clicking that mags a Green line that you drag to the proper piont, when clicked sets and does the split. All you need to do then is Save.
