Jill, In other words, very much like in a printed book, or in a Braille
book, the pagebreak in an electronic book allows us to advance rapidly
through the book Or to go back rapidly through the book.
Technically, a page break is not even a blank line, but a special
invisible character.

Jill,
Imagine that you are reading a print book. When you are ready to turn a
page, you flip one. In an electronic book, the space considered to be the
page break designates this turning. And divides the material into the type
of sections that a physical book does. It is not only a blank line.
I hope this helps.

I need clarification about page breaks. If there is no other information
on
the line with the page number, why do we need to worry about page breaks?
I
assume that a page break is simply a blank line; is this correct or am I
over-simplifying?
