Each PAGE? I mean....unless this is extraordinarily graphics-heavy, there's no reason for this. Not remotely. We do books that are huge--certainly upwards of 500 pages--and we've never done this.

I noticed that while displaying the book in Apple Books on iPhone or macOS, there is a gap between every page. All margins and padding are set to 0.
Yup, because they are separate HTML files, which render in different "sizes" on different screens on different devices for different readers. Not print pages.

Quote:
I know if I combine all pages in one html page this problem will go away, however doing so will render the book too "heavy" as I am dealing with 500+ page books.
Honestly, page count is fairly irrelevant. Word count and kb matter, not pages.

Please take a look at the attached pictures for more insight. Please note that the language is Arabic, which is read right to left.

Thank you!
That doesn't really matter (R2L), inasmuch as the actual size, in kilobytes, of the sections.

Commercial/professional bookmakers break at chapters, typically. Does your book not have chapters?
