Just to add to the confusion: some print books use spacing as "scene break", but if the scene break happens to fall at a page boundary, it is marked with an asterism of some sort. This makes the reader aware that there is a scene break, something that would be easily missed if it was only marked with spacing/indent.

1. Has this been successfully done in ePub books?

2. Since I believe it cannot be reliably done, I prefer to always use asterisms. Sure, extra spacing can be enforced, but it's easy to miss at the top/bottom of a page.

3. Unfortunately, it makes too many ebook conversions to "exactly" match the print version and have two kinds of scene breaks: with spacing and with asterism. It looks like they have different meanings, but they have not!
