Blank lines / white space

I prefer reading the epub version rather than the kepub version of a book as the page lay-out looks so much better. Kepubs always look very messy to me. I find this very distracting while reading.

Kepubs don't (while epubs do)
  • respect intended white space / blank lines by author / publisher while the ADE epub handles them correctly.
    It seems to ignore completely all "empty" lines like <p>&nbsp;</p> or like wise variants.
    Kepubs look like
    Scene 1 text
    Scene 2 text
    Scene 3 text

    (no scene beaks)

    While it should look like
    Scene 1 text

    Scene 2 text

    Scene 3 text

    (with scene beaks)
  • always repect centered text (not in every case).
    Text is centered in epub but not in kepub (left).

In kepubs (where epubs don't)
  • each text line is followed by a blank line, while the blank line shouldn't be there at all. Seems a margin or padding issue (margin-bottom or padding-bottom).
    Kepub looks like

    line1
    empty line
    line 2
    empty line
    line 3


    while it should look like
    line 1
    line 2
    line 3

To me, these small imperfections are very easy to correct and contribute to a better reading experience.
