Those sorts of things really bug me and it's one reason I like my Nook. Everything looks flawless. If the newest Nook had expandable storage, I'd be buying that one in a heartbeat.

My epubs are all DRM free, though they've been purchased from a variety of online stores.
You can fix any indenting (or non-indenting) that you dislike yourself, no problem, in Calibre. I hear about the long paragraph bug here, but I confess that I can't actually remember ever seeing it, though I suppose I must have. I do read with a small font, and not a lot of books with many hideously long unbroken paragraphs (that one's a peeve of mine!), so that might be why. A single gap once in a very long while is unbothersome to me, but I can see why it could get annoying if you saw it every other page or something like that.

I sympathise with you being picky about how things display - I'm very fussy about fonts, and I also couldn't stand it when Kobo suddenly brought in a book title header on every page on sideloaded epubs. Luckily, they rethought that in the next firmware version (perhaps in response to customer complaints), and meanwhile a downgrade was easy.
