I second theducks suggestion of using Sigil to fine tune your books'

The remove line and indent size was implemented as one combined feature.
Calibre was never intended for fine tuning a book, but early on (about 4 years ago) folks were clamoring for some help in this area so Kovid created this feature. The thought being if you removed the lines between paragraphs then you would require an indent to let you know where the new paragraph started and if you left the spaces in between paragraphs then indents weren't as critical.
Since then Sigil has been developed and allows you to adjust the paragraph CSS for indents and margins quite easily. Even Calibre now has the ability for you to unpack a book and manually edit the CSS.
