You could try using serial em-dashes inside of a "nowrap" span. That seems to work pretty well in ADE, can't guarantee it works everywhere and under any reading system.
It's what I do when I come up against this very question for ebooks I'm making for myself. And I found the code right here on MobileRead, courtesy of RbnJrg:

Code:
.nowrap {
text-indent: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
Just a thought. It's not a perfect world when it comes to ebooks.
