Anyway, try wrapping your table of contents or whatever in a <div> </div> tags so that your <br/> tags aren't directly in the <body/>.
yeah I tried that but it only worked for one table of contents and I have about 5 or 6 stories mixed into one file and they have summary, title, author notes and etc...it doesn't look so great when it's paragraph indented but when I tried to use css to remove the paragraph indents for just those sections it didn't work.

Basically, yes I'm using <br > tags within the body of the html but what I still don't get is why when I convert to LRF the <br > tags work like they do on web browsers but when I convert to MOBI it adds an extra line.
