Hello Dion,

Thank you for this follow-up.

I have not yet got around to fixing my e-books. It will likely be a while as I am now putting my effort into PDFs with the main idea of printing the books out as a backup/reading measure. Out of curiosity I am sure I will fiddle with the line space issue shortly enough, and will post results to this thread.

I empathize with the eyesight problems as I am having same (and ... not a baby boomer, the one before that, I think they call us the silent generation; more like the generation nobody listened to ... but the baby boomers are hitting the 70s and that is going to be a huge market for things like larger e-screens, buttons that accommodate fat unsteady fingers, and a million other things elder-helpful). Here again PDFs seem to be ahead of the game. The problem is reading them on these small screens. I am seriously considering plunking out $900 for the Boox 13.3". I tried the reMarkable but it was useless: screen is still too small and was unfriendly in terms of expanding the size (runs off the screen and has no good way to move the text around) and it was very slow at page turning anything larger than a pamphlet.

I currently use TextPad as my editor and validate with CSE Html Validator. I am now valid all around.

PS: Moderators. There is something not working right about the forum. I accessed the sight via the link in the e-mail notice, logged in. Tried to respond to Dion's post and get told I am not logged in where I can see that I am logged in just above.
