Well, We are not talking about entire empty line between two paragraphs, just a space that is a few pixels (less than 1mm) wider than "normal" space between two lines inside paragraph. Also the first line intendation for the paragraph is only about 4mm wide in books that I format for my reader. And margins are almost non-existent. This, together with sans-serif font and left justification enables me to squeeze quite a lot of *very readable* text on the screen.
I really do not understand why there are 15 mm (and sometimes more!) wide margins on commercially available (Sony and also Kindle) books. THAT is atrocity if you ask me!
This trying to recreate printed page at any cost remainds me of the very first cars that were built exactly like horse carriages without a horse ;-)
