The author does not check her output from Vellum other than the on screen view and running it through epubcheck before submission. I've added her output to the list of sins the developers of Vellum should have to answer for.

I didn't know Vellum was that bad. But why would such a really bad stylistic choice be made? I'm not a fan of wasted space around a chapter title and that's my preference, but this is going way beyond that with poor typesetting and way too much wasted space. Plus, it look really ugly.
I've seen some really poor decisions made on formatting. One style that's not been brought up is wide L/R margins with the eBook being left justified. That looks really bad as it look like way too much empty space at the end of the lines. If it was full justified, it would look like wide margins, but this looks like empty space.
