Hi,
in dml.cz, we have our books split into chapters. You can check for
yourselfs how it looks like (e.g. http://dml.cz/handle/10338.dmlcz/400354,
or just look for a Monograph section at dml.cz homepage).
I have to partly disagree with Mark H. Wood ("..., I think users
will dislike the result."). We haven't experienced any negative response
on splitting book into chapters the way we have got. However, we have a
very specialized type of books so I can't say it can work generally.
Regards
Vlastik
