Yes, I assumed that was the problem. Previously .txt files that I've sent to my Kindle didn't have this problem (even though the original .txt files appear to be formatted the same to me). I was curious if there was some trick to get the Kindle to do the conversion without honoring all the new lines, except at the end of paragraphs and titles.

The first link you posted seems to remove all new lines including those between paragraphs (choosing the different radio button options didn't seem to make a difference), which I don't want. I found the page below to be slightly more flexible.

I do use Linux and perl, and I've used sed but not very much. I was hoping there would be a simpler way without completely reformatting my .txt file.

Thanks for your help.
