What I'm aiming for is for a chunk of content to keep together as much as I can. Quite often it's just a header and a paragraph, but there's sometimes a little image or a small bullet-list or table. This works well on most small screens* on other reader apps on the previous titles in the series but the publisher wants to also sell on Google Play, and it's not behaving the same there.
HOWEVER: I did get a response back from Google saying that the reader behaves differently if you just upload an ePub to your phone and read it in GPB rather than uploading to Partner Centre and then reading it as a reviewer. Curious. I'm going to give this a try today to see what happens.
* yes, yes, I know - "fixed layout vs ePub2, yadda, small screen, can't control the look, yadda". It's worked well on earlier editions with a bit of effort and if you ARE careful and design things to gracefully degrade and adapt then you can get some pretty acceptable technical layout in ePub2. We don't want the customer to have to muck about with downloading specific readers, it needs to work 'out of the box' when they buy it from the vendors - usually Amazon, Apple, Google. Cos that's were the money is (in different proportions!)
