Hmm, without wanting to argue in favour of any particular choice, the voting suggests that it's not as clear-cut as you assert.
Maybe the reason that pBooks are printed without para spaces are down to economics, in that the extra spacing would have a physical effect, and there wouldn't have been enough of a preference for them in order to overcome that. With eBooks, however, there's no cost difference and the split vote shows just as many people wanting then as not, which, given the lack of spacing on pBooks, is itself interesting, in the way they're choosing to differ from the 'standard' reading experience...
