As an example, I had recently downloaded a copy of W. Somerset Maugham's "Of Human Bondage". The text basically ran together. That is, there wasn't any space between paragraphs, the type seemed crowded, etc. After the comments I received earlier, I looked at various examples on Amazon that were specifically for Kindle. Some looked just like the version I had, while another looked much better and was "free". I downloaded and imported to Calibre and the formatting came over perfectly. I'll just have to look at each version available and pick the best one.

However, how difficult is it to increase/decrease space between paragraphs, change line spacing etc. in Calibre? I came across one version that included an Introduction and comments by three different authors, but the text was poorly formatted.

Thanks to all for comments and suggestions.
