So it is all about these orphans and widows and not the footer. Well I just don't see it on kepub and since it is easier to buy and sync ebooks in that format, and what I said about epubs looking awful on my devices still stands.

Thanks for showing me not to waste anymore time with epub, even if that wasn't your intent. I don't want to put alot of work in monkeying around with patching and editing css style files just to make it look as beautiful as kepub already does.
And when I loaded the same 2 books as kepubs, it was hideous to me . The top of the topmost line of text was cut off, and the last line of text on a page was just the top of some letters, couldn't even tell what the text was. If I fiddled with adjusting the font size long enough, I could get that to mostly disappear, but to me that's worse than just simply patching and sticking with epubs. I also really dislike the header on every page with kepubs, and don't care about reading stats at all.

But you've found your perfect fit, so stick with kepubs. I really wasn't trying to sway you to epubs, just showing you that epubs do format very nicely on the Kobo readers.

Be glad Kobo gives us the choice to read the way each of us wants!
