I imported an Epub that was all one big file, essentially just text with no additional styling of chapters, etc. added.

I followed the directions for how to make a picture the chapter heading in the TOC. That worked.

I then followed the directions for how to split one file into more than one.
That worked as well.

Problems:
1) It is calling it sections and when iBook opens the file, there is no table of contents as it doesn't care about sections, it wants chapters. The TOC is there in SIGIL, but not in iWork...thoughts? I loaded another epub that I had already styled with chapters and it doesn't display those with sections in sigil in displays them as chapters. How do I make this work?

2) My file seems huge. I added 10 images. They are each only 100KB, but my exported Epub is 7MB. Why? When I opened a Sigil fresh and just loaded all 100 pics, the exported epub was just under 7MB....how is that possible?
