A 1 turns them off so at the bottom of the screen, the pages are mostly the same length without a gap. It looks better on a Reader. With a pBook, you can adjust thinks to make it look better. With a Reader, you have no such adjustments.
Wouldn't "off" for widows and orphans mean that paragraphs never go over the end of the page? (And I'm ignoring paragraphs longer than a page.) "1" means there can be a widowed, or an orphaned line.
