Kepubs don't really do widows and orphans, that's an epub feature. I guess that the footnote is probably smaller and that 16 lines with your usual font size would not fit. I rarely read anything with footnotes, so I have no particular insight to offer.

I've come to dislike large first letters of a chapter, often bold and extending above or below the line, so they need a special margin (such as 0.7em) to display nicely. Accordingly, I've been changing these to regular text. Anyone else?
|
Sometimes, but not always. As I use a smallish font size (I get 33 lines on my Libra 2), I don't lose that much space with large first letters. When they're noticeably off, then I too change them to regular size.

Why do almost all books not indent the first paragraph of a chapter, but then indent all subsequent paragraphs?
|
Because that's the way it has always been done.

Somewhere in the 1.4em range seems best for indenting, although maybe 5%?
|
I use 1em myself.

Is there some way to automate making sure all actual text (body, rather than headings or special sections) is normal size?
|
No, unless you want all text, including headings etc. to be the same size.

The current book I'm reading doesn't have the footnote preview feature (clicking on a footnote brings you to the footnote) and image viewer. How can I fix this?

Sorry, no idea there. I'd guess something in the formatting.
