Thanks for the suggestions! Here's what I tried.

The <p> one won't be useful because there aren't any <p> tags where the line breaks occur. I'll try the style tag search for fonts/font sizes, though, thanks for that!

The only thing it did was change the line breaks to <br/> and thus making them visible in the "Edit metadata" window, unfortunately.

I haven't seen any issues with fonts changes. Any strangeness there on the device, I can see in calibre and fix there before resending the books.
Also, your image isn't showing. You could post the code within code-tags so that we can see what you have. That might help to prove what the issue is if I am wrong.

If that's the case (which it might be), wouldn't it be a problem for every book, though? So far, for the 700 or so that I've checked, only about 1/4 had the issue.
Anyway, apologies for the image not showing. Should be fixed now? I can't show you the code in tags because it won't show what the problem is, but I took some more screenshots...
This is what the code in "Edit Book" looks like. As marked, the line breaks happen when every line gets a new line number, for lack of a better explanation:
This is what the "Edit Metadata" comments section looks like in normal view, where no line breaks are visible:
This is what the "Edit Metadata" comments section looks like in HTML view, where you can see the line breaks:
If I remove the line breaks in the HTML view, then the problem is solved, but like I said before, I'd rather not have to check all the books and manually change them if I can at all help it...
