The option to remove the space and add indentations in Calibre is useless. It never affects the formatting in any way.
Remove space and add indent does exactly that for paragraphs. Any formatted paragraph will end up having a indent and no top or bottom margins (space between paragraphs). If your input LIT source uses <br /> to create spaces between paragraphs then you have to manually edit the resultant ebook. I use Sigil.

Also text files for input require you to select the proper input for your file. Text files should be straight forward without spaces between paragraphs if that is what you want.

If you want to remove spaces and add an indent to paragraphs then select that option.

If you want to add a indent and have spaces between paragraphs then also select insert blank line as an option.

If you want to retain the initial formatting then don't select either of those options.
