I hadn't read Nate's post about this. He has the details right. I am a little amused by his statement, "I don’t know why the option is hidden and undocumented by Kobo", as I do know why. And any long-term developer can probably guess why.

Since I'm always tweaking the CSS of books before I sideload them I would rather go that route instead of mucking around with the eReader.conf file.

What is the proper CSS for that?
My standard stylesheet has the following in it:

Code:
body {
  widows: 1;
  orphans: 1;
}
But, it could be on the style used for paragraphs. Or set to something else on paragraphs that would be better kept together.
