I'm basing my <hr> suggestion on this:
http://www.idpf.org/accessibility/gu...ml/context.php
"A context break represents a shift in thought, time, location, etc. in a work of fiction or non-fiction below the level of a section. These changes are typically represented by an extra blank line between paragraphs, sometimes including asterisms and other decorations (traditionally when the shift occurs immediately at the bottom of a print page).
"In the past, CSS margins and images have been used to include context breaks, but the HTML5 specification has redefined the semantics of the hr element specifically for this purpose. The element should now always be used to represent these context changes. CSS styling can be applied to change the default appearance."
Though I could totally be misreading it. If I'm reading it right, though, the benefit of <hr> over sticking with the empty paragraphs is that <hr> is semantically meaningful, but empty paragraphs aren't. That said though, I shouldn't try to guess at the semantics of this specific book, the <hr> stuff may not even apply here.
