My nice new Libra 2 displays pages of quite widely varying length on any book I read. I have put "widows:1; orphans:1;" in the CSS for <body> in one of the books to see if this fixes it, but it doesn't. All my books are EPUBs.

The device seems to be using 3 as the value for both -- a 4-line para gets shifted in its entirety onto the next page, for example. The effect is quite jarring; I always feel like I'm at the end of a chapter when I read one of the short pages (21 lines rather than the normal 24 at the font size I'm using) and then I turn the page to discover that there's more...

Is there anything else I can do to stop this happening?
