I'm currently at FontSize 54 and LineHeight 1.35. I could probably go a bit smaller, but I'm used to this.

It's easy enough to click on a first letter, see the code then find it in the CSS file. I guess I'll try that plugin to see if it's easier. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=2980740

I characterized it as "almost all" in the OP.

De gustibus ...

Indent range in this thread is 1 to 1.5em

Kepub doesn't do widows/orphans, so no action required. Besides, that was a guess as to why I get 16 lines/page when there's a footnote reference in the text on the bottom line. It continues to be a mystery.

As noted, I'm using kepub. The book at issue has footnotes in the same files as text and those files are about 50KB each. It was published by parts of Penguin this year. You'd think they knew better.
