That is true only on pre-KF8 Kindles. The newer Kindle devices use WebKit for rendering, which does respect zero-width nonbreaking spaces.
BTW, I just edited my previous post. I don't know why I thought I was using zero-width joiners (which shouldn't work). I was actually using zwnbsp, which is different, and any properly functioning (Unicode-compliant) HTML/XHTML renderer should treat it as an indication that the line should not be broken at that point even if it otherwise would be.
