I really don't like the automatic assumption that you want to add spaces between paragraphs also. I don't get why there isn't an option to turn this off somewhere. Commercial ebooks I buy don't have it. Standard paperbacks or hardcovers don't have it either. Why would you want to toss in a bunch of extra spaces that aren't in the source material?
It seems weird to me that not only is it the default option, you can't turn it off with a checkbox somewhere.
I posted on this same topic a while ago (and I've seen a few more post about it since).

Idolse suggested this to reduce the spacing size down:
p {margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.3em}
I used this instead for no extra spacing at all - it does the trick - no extra lines, no need to click the "remove lines between paragraphs" which also strips out lines that should be there.
p {margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 0em}
Add to the Extra CSS under Look and Feel. It's my default option now.
Otter also suggested this which worked:

Each time I have done this I end up with an epub that retains the original blank lines (change in narrator, change in scene, other intentional blank lines, etc) but it no longer has a blank line after each and every paragraph, line of dialogue etc. No idea how or why this works, but it does for me....hope it is of some help to you!
