Thanks, Hitch, that's most helpful.
calibre can convert ePub to 'Amazon' files and produce either azw3, or only mobi, or a 'both' version which contains azw3 (equivalent to KF8, so far as I know) and the old mobi (equivalent to KF7, so far as I know). I use the 'both' option, so that people using early generation Kindles will read the KF7 version, and later versions read the azw3 version. My Kindle Touch is about a year old, and reads the azw3 version. The real value of your response to me is that even the later Kindles can't handle page-break-inside:avoid.
The forty or fifty verse poem looks just awful on my Kindle Touch. So after I've calmed down a bit I'll probably withdraw the 'mobi' version from the MobileRead library. The author has been dead for over a century, so I don't think she'll mind.
