To fix that last part, I have to go in the font menu and "touch" one of the settings (changing back and forth), then it seems to flush the page and display it properly.

There are also very few empty lines separating paragraphs...
Can you get a photo of the screen as it defaults?

The margins are set to no margins. as for the empty lines, I don't have any except as separators. To me, paragraph spaces just look awful and provide a poor reading experience. Same with wide margins. So I strep the margins and strip paragraph spaces.

I do feel that publishers can go a long way to making better looking eBooks and that includes Kindle eBooks. Even a 1/2 line space is too much when it's not needed.
