Ok, I don't use WP, so I do it directly in XML.

In ePub2 I usually work on a single large XHTML file with internal links. It is faster for editing. When all is ready, I use Sigil to split the single sections. Usually. For some works the author created a software to do this. One of our ebooks has 5000 locations with 11.000 internal links, so it is better automatize this job.

I know... and I tested it a lot, but the support on Kindle was poor. There is another way to do it on ePub, and I build an ebook using it: create an ebook with the first page as linear="yes" and the rest of the book with linear="no". It works... but only with some software, so I published it as "experiment". iBooks for example creates a web page (!) for the linear="no", so it is not readable on iBooks.

The big problem is the book: all the e-book formats give you the tools to create a analogic-book-in-digital instead of a digital one.
