Oh, that's a bummer -- I just looked at again and resized the window(s), as you suggested, and see what you mean. Well, is there any other alternative to using "white-space: nowrap" that might do the trick for something like this, and keep those words together? I don't know of any.

I guess if you're doing this professionally, I could see that, but I just can't afford that (maybe if my book became a bestseller, though -- ha ha).

Well, my book does seem to work okay on the iPad (in iBooks, at least). How blasphemous is it to design for just one reader/platform?

Thanks again so much for your input!
