For newer epub readers, this is not as important. They seem to handle them OK, but it can cause performance problems. As a test, I edited a book I with 30 chapters into a single file. This was over 1MB in size. On my Kobo Glo, it work fined. But, turning the page became slower as I went through it. Towards the end it was taking close to 30 seconds.
I don't have a Kindle but my understanding is that they don't have a problem like this.

Thanks davidfor. That's good to know. So the splitting is sort of what Sigil does then, right? (And this book (
American Tragedy by Dreiser) did look huge. It look like three books in one.) Appreciate the info.
