Overall, I think I prefer the old approach of dividing into sections. The new approach involves a lot of scrolling/hunting if you're looking for something specific or trying to find a search term in a page returned by a search. On the other hand, in some cases, if you happen to be reading a whole chapter straight through, having it all on one page can be convenient (can also be convenient when a search returns hits across multiple sections within the same chapter).
I suppose an alternative might be to have the TOC expand to show the section titles (as in the current book) and let the user click on a section title to jump to that section in the page (maybe add some "back to top" links within the page).
