For eReaders (which means epubs) scene breaks should be something other than a space, either asterisks or a line or something. A space scene break will completely disappear if it is displayed at the top or bottom of the screen.

This is why physical books use * * * if the scene break is at the top of bottom of a physical page.
That's why the first paragraph after a scene break, like the first paragraph in a chapter, should not have a first line indentation, as a visual cue to the reader that it's a new scene.
