What exactly do you change in the epub file? using a micro font is not an option, I'm half blind yet. 
By the way to me appens also on sideloaded ebooks.  |
When I fiirst loaded your test book, I didn't see the problem you are seeing. The first page looked exactly what I expected. But, while looking at another book, I had fiddled with the margin and line spacing settings and then reopened your book. With both of these about the middle of the sliders, it the first page is wrong. With both at the lowest setting, the first page is correct. This is on my Touch. The Glo is similar, but the two settings need to be a bit bigger to cause this. I didn't fiddle with the font size while doing this.
I also edited the file to remove the widows. That had basically the same behaviour.
There is a problem as paragraph 7. For all settings, this starts on a new page. About the only thing I can see is that this is the only paragraph that is more than a screen long with the font size I am using and the minimum margin and line spacing. When I used the minimum font size, there were no problems. Making the font very big, caused a lot more problems.
Trying jackie_w's suggestion about the putting the widows in the body rather than the paragraph helped, but doesn't completely fix it.
I think that if a paragraph will fit on one screen with the font/margin/line spacing settings, the widow and orphan settings work correctly. When the paragraph is longer than this, things go wrong.
