Some of this is tied into design decisions where Kobo ereaders respect the CSS internal to the epub. So if someone decides setting widows and orphans to 3 is a good idea, you can end up with wide blank spaces at the bottom of a page as text is moved to the next page to prevent widows at the top of a page or orphans at the bottom of a page. Even the default of 2 in RMSDK can waste a lot of space.
