That's precisely the reason why, for the books that "matter" to me (such as the Charles Dickens eBooks I've created), I do exactly that - compare against a paper book and fix up all the paragraph ends, etc. Takes a few days, sure, but I figure that if it gets me an eBook that I'll be able to read and re-read for the next 30 years, it's worthwhile.
BD, which I use to create my books, makes a real mess of paragraphs on occasions, especially in passages of dialogue.
