Well, ereaders based on Legacy ADE support the property "page-break-after: avoid", so if you give that property to <h3> you'll get what you want. The drawback is that Webkit doesn't honor "page-break-after: avoid"

Fortunatelly, the last versions of webkit support the property "orphans", and ADE also support it, so you can use that property as a workaround. Of that way, after an <h> tag, you can have at least, two lines of text (or the number of lines you want).
Suppose you have the following code:
Code:
<h3>This is a title</h3>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla ac tellus nunc. Phasellus imperdiet leo metus, et gravida lacus. Donec metus ligula, elementum at pellentesque pellentesque, suscipit ac nunc.</p>
You need to modify that code of the following way:
Code:
<p class="joined"><span class="subh3">This is a title</span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla ac tellus nunc. Phasellus imperdiet leo metus, et gravida lacus. Donec metus ligula, elementum at pellentesque pellentesque, suscipit ac nunc.</p>
with the following css styles:
Code:
.joined {
orphans: 3 /* use 4 if you want three lines of text after the <h>tag */
text-indent: 0;
}
.subh3 {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
font-size: 1.2em; /* change the size here according to your wishes */
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center; /* change the alignment if you want */
text-indent: 0em;
padding: 1em 0; /* change the value here if you want */
}
With the above code you will mimic the property "page-break-after: avoid" for all rendering engine.
EDIT: Of course, not all ereaders have one of the last versions of webkit. So old ereaders devices based on webkit won't be able to avoid the fragmentation.
