Hi Alex,
I have not been able to find the book (paper,
Collection Le Livre de Poche) I first read. Probably lended to someone who forgot to give it back to me. But it's probably the same we can find here, with an another page cover however:
http://www.livredepoche.com/jane-eyr...-9782253004356. By the way you can find the French version here:
http://www.ebooksgratuits.com/newsen...19&format=epub
If I remember well, the French style is classic, in the mood of XIX. I think the translation was very good.
Alex with <h2> or whatever you want (h1), you gain a semantic value permitting to create a toc in an epub for example, and of course you can set up <h2> the same way as <p class = "chpthd">. So,
you don't lose anything in the presentation (format), and
gained something useful for a lot of reading systems.
As you don't have more general sections (Part 1 ou Book 1), Jellby's suggestion (h1 instead of h2) is pertinent.
If you don't mind and I hope I'm not going to vexe you if I were you I would split the nice Frontmatter in 2 separate pages:
1) the first one with the image (with title, author...);
2) the next one with the contents, small toc, about this edition and, at the end of this page, I would put your logo and information about the ebook.
Thus, things are easier to decipher but of course this is just a suggestion: your epub stands out by its own virtues.
