I agree and I'm not sure why. After a year and half reading on a Sony Reader, it still seems just a touch unnatural in ways I can't describe and I find the blank line between paragraphs comforting. Perhaps if the display format was larger (an iLiad, for example) I wouldn't need the blank lines.

As to changing or not changing the way I create ebooks, yes, I understand that it's my choice and that I should do what I want. But I also want to do what is most useful for people who will read them and if I can make a small change that makes a difference, I will choose to do that. Of course, I say that but I think I'm still doing em-dashes incorrectly and haven't made the effort to fix that either. And I still have posted books that have hundreds of annoying textual errors that need correcting. It seems that everything is a work in progress with me.
