I have a Kindle book that I'm getting ready to publish, but it's unclear to me how to handle formatting regarding chapters, because I have kind of a unique case with this book. The issue is that its main subject/content involves the profiling of 25 different, consecutive items within a particular category, and many of these 25 "profiles" are very short (though they vary, and some are much longer); in some cases there are several of them to a page (per .doc page, anyway). So if I were to make each one its own chapter, there would be quite a few ridiculously short "chapters" of, in some cases, only a few lines. For this reason it doesn't seem a very good idea for me to make these into linked chapters. Doing so would also make the book have well over 25 chapters.
A Kindle formatting question

The book does have a few normal chapters as well as a preface and introduction. I can see that those should be linked chapters (linked in the TOC), but what should I do about the 25 profiles?
thanks for any insight,
