The problem with the way you've formatted your eBooks is that they look awful.
You start at chapter 1. You read the first paragraph. No problem there. Then you come to the space. Problem there. You are then take away from the reading to focus on a space that should not exist. So, now you get past the space and you get stuck with no indent. Is this the start of another section or is this just poor formatting? So you manage to get past the second paragraph.. wait.. we have yet another line space to take away from the book. Ok, you then have to manage to get past that to get to the third paragraph. Wait, it this a section break or is this yet again a missing indent?
See the problem? Basically, the extra spaces and lack of indents makes the book rather annoying to read. You have things added and removed that cause the eyes to not follow along the way they should. So really, add in the indents and remove the extra line spaces and the book might be readable (depends on the content after that).
