Re:  Splitting file into N-sized chunks
Well it doesn't have to be exactly 300K, could be less of course :)
But XHTML needs to be valid.
So any ideas on (roughly) calculating the size? Number of characters perhaps?

Yes, my output is ePub. Sony PRS-505 has this limitation -- or maybe
it's Digital Editions, but it works on the PC. It gives a "Page error"
if some of the files is too big:
