Hi... I wonder if this could be considered a good practice to avoid widows in modern days.

So that if the line does break, "too soon" would be pulled to the next line. (To some typographers that might look more pleasing than lines that are too short).
I know we can't do much to avoid single lines in kindle, but I wonder if this should be considered a good practice to avoid lone words on the last line of a paragraph. I control this in printed books in InDesign using GREP and i'd like to do this in e-books. But I need to be sure that this isn't a bad practice .

Thanks in advance.
