You're referring to double-spaced rows rather than double spaces in the text. What's happening is that each new line is getting wrapped up in a paragraph tag in the underlying HTML, and eReaders and web browsers typically leave space equivalent to a blank row at the end of a paragraph.

When you delete the terminator and replace with shift-return you are entering a break tag in the HTML (<br>), which is typically displayed as breaking the text onto the next line without a blank row in between.

I've not used Sigil, but your problem lies in the fact that your source documents either have no formatting (Notepad) or have your bullet points formatted as normal lines, so there's nothing for Sigil to recognise as requiring a break character.

A better solution would presumably be to use a source format that was able to save your bullet points using formatting that Sigil would recognise. Someone who knows Sigil will need to step in here, but if Sigil can import HTML, could you save as HTML from Open Office?
