Actually, we were talking about removing ANY additional "white space" from between paragraphs, which can be created in myriad different ways, and in myriad different sizes, whether it's a top-margin on the ensuing paragraph, or a bottom margin on the preceding, or some idiot hitting "enter" between them. I
did speak to that, but yes, I spoke about other things as well.

I appreciate you're something of a puritan with your formatting, but ultimately eBooks give us additional control over how our page is structured. I'm not going to suffer poor styling choices (in my opinion) that affect my reading experience just because it's what the publisher intended.

I follow the basic rules of typography and typesetting, yes, as set down by folks with a lot more experience than I in so doing. The "rules" of typesetting vary--some are nothing more than tradition, but
many exist for good reasons, and yes, at my company, we think that we should follow those, like the golden rule on line-lengths, which has been proven, in studies, to exist for legitimate reasons related to how folks' brains process lines of text.
I always wonder what all the folks do, who are SO upset about typography choices in eBooks, when reading print--do they retype the book, so as to set it to their OWN styling choices?
