There are two points to consider, I would argue, and both should be examined to see how it fits into one's personality as a reader:


1) One large file - and in ordered sequence - makes for ease of use and access. The ebook reader is not cluttered with a lot busy files.

or


2) Having many files and then finishing each one in numbered sequence, gives one a sense of achievement, of working through the entire series.

I personally find myself sometimes leaning in both directions, but mainly I choose #1.
And with option # 1 you don't have to do a search to find the next book. With ebook readers it is possible for a given book to get lost among the other books that a user has stored on the device.
