I tend to think the same thing. But, I was reading a book that didn't have the paper book styling I like. It had gaps between paragraphs and no indent on paragraphs. What I found was that for shorter paragraphs, the separation seemed to help comprehension. I could take in the whole paragraph in one go. With that, the widows/orphans settings might make sense. But, not enough to change my preferred styling.
Ah thanks for the URL. Interesting. That would mean there's not much chance of Kobo changing that to 0 or to give user preference for it I suppose. I thought it was just Kobo throwing some numbers in

I had a hunt through other books I had, and found something like what David reported. These had been converted from MOBI files. The "mbppagebreak" div was at the end of each chapter. It didn't have the extra empty paragraphs, but that is probably in that particular book, though I have seen some just like it.

Got it half right
