We did have a poll a while ago and most people preferred indents with no excess line spaces. That sort of format may have been OK on a tiny screen of low resolution. But screens have gotten bigger and higher resolution and that sort of eReader type formatting has to go. It just doesn't work.
How would you feel if you bought a pBook that has no indents and line spaces? Personally, I'd take it back. It's all about readability and no indents (except for section/chapter starts) and line spaces do detract from reading as it detracts the eye from the book and focuses the eye on the formatting. So really, that's why the eReader type formatting has to go.
And yes, I do agree that it would be nice if all reading software allowed user choices. But that's not the case and given what we have, we have to format the best way for the most people.
