As a reader, I have no problem with widows & ophans. I would much rather continue reading from one page to the next, as I do in a print edition, without encountering a short page. If I am reading a print edition from a reputable publisher, the book designer is going to tweak the line spacing, or perhaps ask the author to rephrase, rather than have pages of unequal length. I appreciate that the OP in a sense is trying to accomplish what book designers accomplish, but Kindle at least is going to make a hash of it. (And ending a paragraph with the last complete sentence is going to make a new paragraph, isn't it? Does the carry-over get an indent, and how is that accomplished? And what if we're talking about a paragraph that is quoted speech -- who adds the beginning quotation mark?)
