interesting - I am suprised that amazon have followed the printed book conventions on their Kindle releases - laziness or what ? I buy into the "save paper" explanation for why the standard eveloved but there's no need to "save paper" in an e-book - what is needed is maximum readability.
I wonder what amazon's own welcome to kindle user guide formatting looks like....
downloading from archive back onto Kindle...
AHA - no indents - blank lines between paragraphs - well well well - consistent they aint !
I cannot test, but I wonder what conventions other e-book sellers use e.g. B&N Nook, sony + waterstones....
also interesting to note that, as per my previous post, there is this alternative "use no indents + blank lines convention" for web published articles - & which I like to see also on my Kindle. I tried putting the same book onto K3 with both layouts to confirm that.
I cannot find any web news site / articles site that follows the printed book convention of indenting.
I checked salon.com, wired.com cnn.com - surely these guys know a thing or two about readability
