Referring to my wanting to put a page break in certain places:

Understood. The page breaks I would put in would be at a few sub-chapter headings, not randomly within text. The book is technical and there are one or two longer chapters. A page break at a sub-chapter would create a small break for the reader. A sort of mental period to take a breath and absorb while turning the page to see the next section.

In the end I may resort to just letting the book split there and end up with a few sub-chapter HTML files, but it's my nature to be consistent as in most cases that serves better in the long run for various and sometimes unforeseen or unanticipated reasons. Streamline is good.
