I'm creating an epub from a print layout. No problems except for one thing that leaves me stumped.
I've been testing the epub on a few readers and I've noticed that the Adobe Mobile Reader engine sometimes cuts off a paragraph mid-page and continues it on the next screen. Only on the readers, on the ADE dekstop all is well. Now the book has very long paragraphs and the problem disappears if I turn off widow/orphan protection in the css.
For testing purposes, I made a short epub with only one paragraph, albeit one stretching over a few pages. Here, the text still gets cut off at random places, while there is no reason for the widow/orphan control to kick in on all but the one but last page/screen.
Does anybody have an idea why the Mobile Reader engine behaves as it does? Interestingly, the two readers I'm testing on have different screen sizes, and the cutoff points are different on both devices. This leads me to think there is some underlying logic there I'm failing to see. Also, by enlarging or reducing the font size, the cutoff point moves.
