p {
margin-top:0.0em;
margin-bottom:0.0em;
text-indent:1.5em;
text-align:justify;
}
I have never seen the spacing problem you mention, but then I don't ordinarily read on a Nook.

Thanks for you input. I use the Calibre convert to quickly remove the spaces between lines and paragraphs, change the left/right margins to 3pts, and change the indent to 1em. I do this because sometimes the book's original formatting is off - like having a double line space between paragraphs or large left/right margins. I don't know if these are caused by the nook or not. Often they look OK in Sigil or the Calibre reader, but not on the nook. But a quick convert to make them more readable on the nook.
PS - I also have used Sigil to fix those things, but usually when I am fixing typos or remove extra coding that the nook can't read correctly such as some special characters etc.
My general feeling is that this may be a problem with the nook, but I can't afford a new reader at this time and it has been very reliable. So I'll live with it. Besides, if I hadn't tried fixing different things for the nook, I would not have learned how to use Sigil (or other editing programs etc)
Thanks for all the comments..
