some marketing /UI design expert at Kobo person will say - you can't have an option for widows & orphans because 99% of consumers will not know ( or care) what those are.

That sounds very much like a standard Kobo response. It is problaby true that most readers won't use it and that MR readers are amongst the most tech savvy of the Kobo user base.
And I also think that none of the suggestion mentioned here are going to be implemented even when this can be done quite easily.
Bookeen for example has a feature to turn ligatures on or off (if the font supports the ligatures feature).
Seriously, what I really expect from Kobo is that they fix the font issues of the embedded system fonts where italics are dislayed as bold or vice versa. I really wonder why they can not get that right.
