This is not a great epub. The reason for the excess of blank lines is that the source contains 2 surplus linebreaks between each real paragraph.
If you are using Calibre you can produce a much-improved (not perfect) epub by doing an epub-to-epub conversion with the following conversion settings:
Look&Feel page:check box 'Remove spacing between paragraphs'
Heuristic Processing page:check box 'Enable heuristic processing'
check box 'Detect and markup unformatted chapter hdgs...'
uncheck all other boxes
Structure Detection page:set box 'Detect chapters at' to //h:h2
Table of Contents page:check box 'Force use of auto-generated TOC'
Search&Replace page:First expression (to remove surplus linebreaks)
set box 'Search Regular Expression' to the following exact text
box 'Replacement text' should be empty
(to remove unwanted page numbers and improve Chapter detection)
set box 'Search Regular Expression' to the following exact text
box 'Replacement text' should be empty
EPUB Output page:make sure box 'Split files larger than' is set to 260 KB
(It needs to be done to fix a problem with the original)
There are other ways to correct this epub, but I've detailed a method which can be achieved using Calibre conversion settings only, rather than manually editing the html & css inside the epub.
