This is a problem since printed books exist.

There are lots of different options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widows_and_orphans#Guidelines

The kindle also doesn't support proper kerning. Sorry if I told you that and you can't unsee it now.

But you can install 3rd party reading software on jailbroken kindles like koreader that fixes some of the deficiencies.

And we have the orphans and widows properties in CSS that provide some control across fragments, though they're not supported in Firefox (or EdgeHTML, for however much longer that matters).

I was just trying to find _koreader_ on the Play Store, but am not having much luck. What's the actual name, please?

I don't know if it's in the Play Store but you can download the APK directly from GitHub: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases

Although Koreader has been originally developed for e-ink devices. I'm not sure how well it has been optimized for normal tablet screens.

Great - thanks for the link.
