IMHO it's much easier to use CSS! Here's my H2 paragraph style, which serves the same function as your H1:
h2 {
margin-top:1em;
font-size: 150%;
text-indent: 0em;
font-style: italic;
text-align:center;
}
You could put a margin-bottom:1em instruction in there as well, or you could do as I do and have a p class="first" style that provides the bit of space:
p.first {
margin-top:0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.0em;
text-indent:0.0em;
text-align:justify;
}
My style is on my blog to borrow or adapt.
I don't think there should be an extra space between paragraphs in an e-book. Kindle at least provides a very generous 1.2 line spacing. (I do add 20 percent in the print edition.)
Too many self-publishers go from writing term papers to publishing books without taking time to notice that books aren't double-spaced or presented in block paragraphs.
