It's also nice to have the option to have poem cycles where not each individual poem has to start on a new page.
Is there anywhere in the epub specs that demands each chapter must constitute an indvidual file? If so, I'll shut up, because then the behaviour of recent Kobo firmwares isn't a bug. But if it isn't in the specs it is a bug that needs to be fixed.

Not a tribute to Kobo, but this was always needed for my old Sony's.
If those long multiple chapters files are over 200 KB the reader always crashed.
Whenever I make a book with Abby, I always split it at a new chapter.
IMHO it takes the same lenght of amount of time if Sigil has to open such a long html file and it gives more memory problems with the program then a bunch of short html files.
Also search sakes much longer in such long files,and I still have to open every epub because it is never the way I want it..Since i have still some old Sony readers it is become a habit to split them.
I don't think they are mandatory by an epub specification but they do give problems in other reader so I edit them,and with every book I have some thoughts you don't want to have so near Christmas about those ebook "engineers" that think every book has to be a website and all the looks and feels of the original book including all those idiot margins, color values....
