You can also edit the margin in the css file, but this will mean the you will have to edit every margin in the css file.
example:
Code:
{

    margin: 0
}
This condensed margins this gives a margin of 0 top, bottom , left and right.

You would want to change that to:
Code:
    {
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-top: 0
}
for the nook to display correctly.

See this for condensed margins help.

I'm not at home with calibre running right now to remember it exactly, but I think in the "Look and feel" dialog, there is an "expand CSS" setting (or something like that) that expands the shorthand "margin" css statements that the nook doesn't handle.
I converted a book again with the "expand CSS" enabled and it worked! I disabled publisher defaults and now the extra spacing between paragraphs is not there! I feel silly for fixing it so easily. Thanks!
