at the end of a chapter I get occassionally an empty page both in the English and German version of my book. Out of 15 chapters there are 6 instances with empty pages in both verions, 6 in the English version only and 4 in the German version only (that is, different chapters are affected). In 6 cases I could not find any obvious reason how latex decides to include either an empty page or not. It has not to do with figure floates at the end of the chapter not with the amount of text in the last page. Nothing to bother about, I am just curious whether somebody knows the strategy of tex in this case.
Assuming that you use a twoside layout, a chapter can only begin at the beginning of right pages (pages with an odd number). If the previous chapter ends on a right page, LaTeX inserts a blank left page.
To avoid this, load your book class with the option 'openany'. (For further description, you can have a look at koma-scripts 'scrguide' documentation, chap. 3.1.2.)
