Thanks for the tips. Pretty depressing that the Kobo doesn't handle this better (and that they chose to make the extended stats unavailable for sideloaded books; plus the fact that for most sideloaded books the cover is no longer displayed correctly).
As to people's preference for spacing between paragraphs, I don't get that either. Is that something they hate about paper books too then? I mainly read fiction. It may be different for some text books or manuals, but no spacing between paragraphs has pretty much been the norm, and no doubt my preference is based simply on being used to that -- but my preference is strong. It's something I've always hated about html: that spaces between paragraphs are pretty much the default, and you have to put in extra effort if you want your html pages to look more like printed text (with indented paragraphs that don't have spaces between them).
A text where all the paragraphs have spaces between them looks a little too much like a children's book to me.
For another thing, having spaces between all paragraphs obliterates the *actual* white lines a writer chose to put in his text.
Not to mention reading dialogues...
