I read 2-5 line paragraphs at a single scan, same with paper, was taught to read that way as a child with SRA reading course. I have tried other ways and can read books just fine without the spacing, good indenting is almost as good. But it takes longer and I retain less I think.

Curious to know how many ways it is wrong and what they are.

Problem with a 1em paragraph space is that when you have offset text that normally has a 1em offset space, you end up with 2em which is what I use as a section break that has just blank space. So that would be rather annoying to see what looks like a section break not be a section break.

I'm not easily distracted. But when the eBook just looks wrong (to me), it isn;t as easy a read as the formatting is noticeable. I like it when the formatting is not getting noticed or in the way.
