The <hr/> as scenebreak seems a little odd in ebooks.
For web, maybe, since you can more reliably use more complex CSS3 to substitute/override the look.
But in ebooks? Just KISS. Simple asterisks, simple fleuron.
For EPUB3 Fiction specifically, I wonder if you could also just split each scene into individual <section>s as an alternative... (and leave the simple asterisks/image in there, of course!  )
Side Note on <hr>: Usually when I scratch my head on some stuff, I head over to HTML5Doctor and see what they say: "The small & hr elements":
Hmmmm... definitely would require more thought + reading into the details/reasoning... |
If you are wanting the best accessibility, don't use a <hr/> or a fluron or asterisks. Use a simple graphic image so you can use alt="section break" so a reader would pick up the alt and read "section break".
