Breaking into subpages
I object to breaking this book into subpages.

Advantages of a single page: Advantages of multiple pages:
 * Easier search using browser's Control + F function
 * No need to create and update a printed version page
 * Snapshotting of book development: a revision of a single page is a snapshot of a book in time. Creating a snapshot in time of a collection of pages is far from that straightforward.
 * Smaller occupation of wiki database storage, as edits are made to much smaller pages
 * Better focus for readers with attention deficit
 * Shorter loading times, but not much really, I think. Depends on the length of a book. For a book under 100 KB, the loading time difference seems negligible.
