Paul Salvette gave me some code to try. I'll find out in the morning if it works. I'll think about that instruction for readers, but I'd really like to learn the secret of a well formatted Nook Book. It has to be out there somewhere.

Well, Paulie has some good code, but without seeing your entire CSS sheet, it's a bit hard to know what's what. I mean...the "cascading" part can really bite you in the butt, but the big issue here is you don't really have a reliable control for your experiment.

IIRC, you had a top-margin for your first paras (or was that a bottom-margin for your chapter heads? Something along those lines), and no margin between, but you did have widows and orphans, at least for some period of time. Do you still have W&O still set, somehow? In a div, perhaps, or the body?
