Nor do I recall seeing the widows and orphans issue on any other devices (random pages with an inch and a half of blank space bugs me more than the default amount of space at the bottom).
Same here. I'm coming from Sony, and I've never seen any of my Sony's hitch with the large white space thing. I'm reading a Feedbooks public domain title right now, and I'm sometimes seeing half the page blank.

On my own created epubs, I have always set widows and orphans to zero, those epubs are displaying nicely, though I would like to see a bit more space at the top of the screen and about a line less space at the bottom. I also wish the line spacing went lower.

Kobo has room for improvement, though I do really love the screen!
