The eReader format was designed for smallish type screens such as a PDA. That is the reason for no paragraph indents and the lin spaces between paragraphs. But, on a larger screen such as a 6" eink screen, this will not look good. It's formatting is not meant for such screens. And the larger you go, the worse it will look.

Now you do not have to have eReader format eBooks in that format. But most commercial eReader eBooks are formatted that way.
