In many print books, such as the book I'm validating
now, chapters do begin in the middle of the page,
though I don't see any logical reason for it. I also
don't see a reason why chapters have to begin on an
odd-numbered, or right-hand (facing the reader) page,
requiring a blank page preceding it. This is as
annoying to the sighted reader as it probably is to a
blind reader--and a waste of paper.
