If you are looking for some sort of lowest common denominator, Kindle may be a good platform to target.

Kindle has 2 concepts. Chapters, and *** breaks. You could in theory use blank lines on Kindle but because you have no guarantee that these lines won't be on the bottom of a page for some device and thus invisible, they are best not used.

Once you publish to kindle you will have to replace all the *** with their special section break style to have it correctly understood by devices like text to speech.

So consider that if you want to use anything else, and plan to release on Kindle, you won't get any other separators that are 100% accessible to all users.
