Glad I found this thread. I kept wondering why many of my pages weren't filling up with text and suddenly realized it was orphan and widow avoidance.

I'm into typography so I do this all the time in printed books. However, note that this works well in printed books because when properly done you have two facing pages with equal textblock size. To the reader it looks normal. But when you are staring at one "page" and the textblock size keeps changing, it becomes incredibly distracting and makes me believe prematurely that the chapter is ending.

I've sent an email to Amazon (kindle-feedback@amazon.com) and I'd happily start a petition on Change.org if I thought it would help anything.

This seems like such a simple option to add to the Page Display settings and I don't want to have to reformat all my books in Calibre to add in the CSS to avoid displaying it....
