Hey ducks,
Yeah as I said, I habitually set widows and orphans to zero, largely because I dislike erratically-lengthed pages and, as APe mentioned, the Kobo is averse to breaking paragraphs nad sometimes breaks text after only a half a page.

Not sure how common that is — the only other eReader I've owned was an iRiver, and that did the same thing, so maybe it's a behaviour of ADE on some devices that use it. The zero setting gives me even-length pages ... for the most part. There's still a few Kobo idiosyncracies — like its habit of flicking the last line of a chapter, if it falls on the last line of a display page, over to the next page, where it sits on its purposeless lonesome.
