Surprisingly I never see the problem I've read about from others where the right side of text is chopped off at times. The 2 kepub screenshots show that bottom chopped text.
This happens to me, but very rarely - maybe once in ... ooh ... feels like a thousand pages or so. I've no idea why it would be different for you. I imagine you've already played with line heights and so forth.

I'm sure you (and GeoffR) are correct. I'll give the {orphans: 0; widows: 0} trick a spin tonight, either using the Calibre settings, the Kobo Touch driver trick, or just directly editing the stylesheet. I will say this - out of the box this bug is terrible. I'm losing 1/5 to a 1/4 of every page in white space.
