NOT not a title

So I'm working on a potential trivia ebook for Kindle, and I'm wondering how much control, if any, I can exercise on page breaks? I've read Amazon's basics and using insert page break and such. I'm planning on having 5 large-print questions on one page, then the 5 answers on the back. I'm ok with the 5 questions being split between pages due to font/view size, but what I don't want is an answer and a question to end up on the same page.

I could try doing a question a page, then the answer following, but that seems more likely to get a Q and A on the same screen. And no, I'm not going to put answers in an index in the back because I HATE that.

I've never used a kindle, nor written for it before, so any insight would help. I've yet to complete my manuscript and put it through the previewer, so that may answer these questions anyways.

I would have thought that active content was the way to go for that.
You might be able to use PDF with the answers as annotations, never tried it.

Book chapters on the Kindle always break on the last page, so it's definitely doable.

I shouldn't say always. The chapters of well formatted books on the Kindle break on the last page.
