In print the publisher can look at where the scene break falls on the page and add an asterism, dropcap or some other visible indicator if it woud be ambiguous without it. Can't do that with an ebook, so the only way to be sure is to always add a visible indicator of the break and never rely just on adding margin to the top of the new scene.
