Hitch, I'd like your opinion.

Given that a lot of people who read eBooks be they ePub, KF8, or KFX, they aren't going to be trying to dive into the code and changing it to what they want. They read the eBook as is.

So, what's the best overall formatting with regards to paragraphs and space between or no space between and if yes to space between paragraphs, hiw much space?

Also, what do you think of chapter headings that are overly large (IMHO)? I've seen some that use a 20% top margin. Even a I think even a 2em top margin is too large. I go with a .8em top/bottom margin in most cases. It doesn't waste too much space and looks a lot better. What's your opinion in chatper headings?

Another thing, why is it that publishers do not use proper blockquotes and instead use overly complicated simulated blockquotes?

Personally, I turn widows and orphans off in CSS and I remove paragraph spacing. The result of this is that on a page with no extra space, the page ends in the same place as any other page that fills the screen with no extra spacing such as a section break or offset text.
