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.

but just think vr if everything were perfect in the world how boring that would be.
as long as paragraphs are delineated by something (indent or blank line) i'm happy... i think i do prefere (somewhat) a blank line, because the tendency for ebooks is to format them with very little margin space (sometimes none at all) and i need some white space in the page. if there are decent margins, then just an indent is fine.
ironically i can't seem to decide what my personal preference on this is, i think my taste has been influenced by working in web too much (in html, paragraphs are automatically separated by a blank line, unless you define it otherwise, now that seems quite normal to me for any kind of screen reading).
