The kepub renderer also happily rips paragraphs apart. I think it's unique to ePub.

The feature in question isn't without merit; it's actually pretty nice in situations where a short paragraph will be split such that there's only a single-line widow or orphan. (Studies suggest avoiding those when possible enhances reading comprehension, though I'll admit I'm a bit skeptical.) But as you can see, it's ... less than ideal for works with (ridiculously) long paragraphs. "Normal" books don't have this problem.
