1. Put text into BD (I just drag and drop the file in).
The problem with dropping text into BD is that it bypasses Book Cleaner and thus, anything that Book Cleaner is set to fix won't be fixed such as em dashes (for example). I know that BD has trouble with paragraphs sometimes when you load in a text file. So I don't know if this problem exists when pasting text.

As an aside for everyone, don't load a text file into BD. Convert it first to RTF or HTML. Though RTF is easier to convert to. Then load the RTF or HTML into BD and it will load without the paragraphs being mangled.
