Greetings All!

I hand-coded a book entirely in HTML and CSS. I learned from a book how to package ePubs. All HTML and CSS files passed validation. The ePub passed validation on the IDPF site. The book, when side-loaded on a Nook, looks beautiful. Everything displays as it should. The same goes for Adobe Digital Editions.

Even on the Nook Press site it looks good with the provided Nook Previewer.

BUT!

When I went to Barnes & Noble tonight, to my horror I saw that on every Nook model that there are line breaks after EVERY paragraph. All of these would have been styled with p elements.

My CSS for p elements is as follows:

p
{
text-indent: 1.25em;
margin: 0;
widows: 2;
orphans: 2; 
}

The only exception is this CSS for the first paragraph of each chapter, and this comes after the first p element:

p.texttop
{
margin: 1.5em 0 0 0;
text-indent: 0;
}

I'm at a total loss. Nook Press Support, needless to say, was at a loss. I have verified also that after the KindleGen process, everything looks superb on the Kindle (though I am, of course, using a different CSS file for the Kindle as well as making the necessary mods in the ePub structure).

Any help would be groovy.

Thanks!

Greg
