So if some sort of section break marker is to be used, don't do asterisks.
I'm okay with it. OR, an h/r (not really) with a graphic in the middle. I think that they can look quite nice. I get what you're saying, but they're used for more than page ends/starts.

An hr with big margins does look OK but how do you input it in source text? Also it looks bad on printed books.
Right--they are used for a huge variety of things.

I've always said that what works on a pbook doesn't always work on a eBook and trying to gett he eBook to look like the pBook is not always a good idea. The reverse is also true.
Indeed, but Wolfie, it's not undoable. You simply have to adjust your expectations.
