I'd gladly use 2.x if there were some way of removing inter-paragraph spacing, but I haven't found a way (not that I tried very hard).

I've used the latest versions of Kindlegen for several years to create the e-books in my signature, and I've never had it add blank lines between paragraphs. I do have CSS that controls the formatting, though.
My husband's books start out in MS Word. My current method is to run that text through an online program that spits out clean HTML (
Word to Clean HTML), and then I tweak everything in Sigil before creating the mobi using Kindlegen. There's an option in "Word to Clean HTML" to remove empty paragraphs, but even before I started using that method (when I did everything "by hand" in HTML), I never had Kindlegen insert blank lines.
