I find the solution of Arios with a special clause for long paragraphs actually quite elegant. I would not put it in a <div> though, but just say <p class="lpara">. In that case it would inherit everything from the <p> class, except for the things mentioned in the lpara class.
There's just not enough screen real estate to waste with widows & orphans. Besides, I prefer no widows and orphans. I'm not bothered at all that it's not typographically correct.

In a pBook, things can be adjusted better so they don't look so noticeable. On a 6" eInk screen, widows and orphans are more noticeable and more annoying.
