I suggest epigraphs be put after the chapter heading. If the ereader can't or is configured not to flip to a 'new page' at start of chapter, it will then be obvious they are apposite to the new chapter rather than a reflection on the previous chapter.
Added : it's my opinion that in fiction at least, bold, italic, capitals etc for emphasis or context should be avoided within the body of the text. Phrasing, punctuation and paragraphing should be enough, no need to spoon feed readers, they should have to do some work, learn use their imaginations etc.
