I think I get the point you are trying to make. Manual page breaks are a no-go. But if I further understand you, the assumption is I have one big epub file. Actually, my ePub is comprised of over 24 chapters, each a separate html file [as displayed by Sigil].

My dilemma is that while the cover is a separate html file, and hence a separate 'chapter' it doesn't act like it. Instead, the next html file merges as the bottom of the cover. I've seen this in other free ePubs, but I have also seen it where it looks correctly: the graphic of the cover is a separate turn of the page from the next chapter.

So if not a page break of some sort, how is it being done in other ePubs?

Thank you.
