Aaron, it says in my post that I exported a mobi file from Previewer3 for sideloading and testing on my Fire; the tests in Previewer itself were put into screenshots. I do know that Previewer is never the last word on anything, but maybe part of the problem is that you are converting from HTML and not ePub. You have already discovered one issue with the line breaks; perhaps there is something else in your HTML that is causing further issues?
Jhowel and Hitch: thanks for the additional tests. As a publisher, as long as the extra spaces are respected by the ereaders, I'm good with that: the display is the same in the end. I remember way back, when one had no choice but to use the NBSP if you wanted multiple spaces: older systems would assume that was an error and erase the additional spaces. Argh!
I cannot see Amazon or anyone else waging war against multiple spaces. That would kill the ability to publish as ebooks alternate genres such as poetry. For example you might want to write:
the space ( ) between us
Take out the spaces and you just ruined the text. (Which, somewhat telling, is what happened when I first typed in the extra spaces and checked Preview Post. Spaces gone!)
