Hi APe, thanks for the thoughts.
No, the next para is quite short. But I recognise the action you're referring to, and yes my understanding is that it's an ADE
thang as well. I sidestep it, by setting widows and orphans to zero at the top of the CSS, and I don't set line height or font size directly in my epubs — I leave that to settings in the eReader itself.
But I think I've found what the problem is: Kobo seems to have decided that that chapter alone was simply too long. I know about keeping chapters short, and that's somethign I generally do, but in this case there was no place to logically break it (without creating a spurious page break in the Reader, which is what I was trying to resolve anyway!
) The section was 108 logical pages long, and my Kobo just seems to have given up after about 90 pages and forced it into a pseudo-section break off its own bat.
Puzzling, because I've seen other worse-formatted spubs — even commercial ones! — with single sections longer than that.
May be a limitation of Kobo's code parsing.
Anyway, thanks folks — APe, pdurrrant, Doitsu — for your help.
