Less recourse via other vendors, but in the U.S., Amazon has most of the market. Any reputable publisher IS going to pay attention if large percentages of their ebook sales are returned.

But if that isn't happening, the possibility remains that many people LIKE what the publishers are doing. Or at least aren't finding it objectionable enough to act on.

What real harm occurs when a publisher allows more chapter heading space?

Well, I think publishers want to use the same source as the hardcopy book as much as possible. It makes things much easier for them. I also believe most people won't return a slam a book based on this difference. The content is still why they buy a book.
