My problem with inter-paragraph line spacing is with how kepubs (books bought directly from Kobo and synced onto your device from the Kobo servers) display them. For some reason, all the Kobo books (at least all the ones I've bought) show up with a blank line between paragraphs. I hate that. That's not the way a novel or any fiction is ever 'layouted.' That's the way text books are formatted and perhaps some non-fiction... The strange thing is, that reading the same kepubs from my Kobo app on my iPhone, those blank lines aren't there. There is a slightly larger than 'normal' line height for a new paragraph, with an indent, the way it should be (although the slightly larger line height isn't really necessary). I've no idea why the ereaders decide to show a blank line.
That's one of the reasons I always sideload all my books, also the ones I buy from Kobo. The reader for the sideloaded books properly listens to what the stylesheet tells it.
