But is that something that's inherent in the format, or just something that people do
because the book is being formatted for a small screen?
Many commercial MobiPocket books (eg the Baen ones) have a blank line between paragraphs, rather than indenting the first line of a paragraph. Although I prefer to have indents myself (and all the Mobi books I create myself using indents) I'm not going to lose sleep over the fact that a book using blank lines between the paragraphs. It's not a big deal (for me).
