Ebooks don't have to abide by the laws of the physical.
For example, there are multi-volume works that continue page numbers.
Pages 1-500 in Volume I.
Pages 501-1000 in Volume II.
Physical books need to sometimes be split like that because the binding itself becomes too thick/unwieldy. Ebooks don't have that problem.
It is pretty nice when you have the entire thing combined into one single ebook.
Like I said, it's pretty rare (I've only run across a handful in all my conversions), but it would be nice if Sigil handled huge # of files a little faster/better.
(I'll have to dig out that 6-volume Thomas Jefferson book. I
think that's one of the few I ran across that had a multi-volume index, referencing page #s throughout the entire thing. Having all 6 volumes, in a single ebook, would be infinitely better than 3000+ pages of tomes.)
