Some of those downloads may simply have been the result of curiosity but otherwise it would seem to confirm that there is a sizeable fraction of MR members who prefer the blank lines. If there are any vendors of ebook readers reading this, please take note that it might be a good idea to have this as a user-selected option on their readers.
On the CyBook you automatically get a slight gap (about 1/3 line) between paragraphs. I find that this greatly enhances the readability of the book compared to having the paragraphs one after the other with no gaps.

I find personally that having a gap of a whole line between paragraphs is too much.
