Chap 9: "Thomas stared hard at the floor below, and then nodded once, as if in recognition. “Harry,” he said in a steady, quiet voice, “stay out of this.” in recognition. “Harry,” he said in a steady, quiet voice, “stay out of this.” “Stay out of what?” I asked."

Chap 17: "...Many of the shelves were loaded with binders presumably full of files and documents, similarly organized, in a dazzling array of hues. I files and documents, similarly organized, in a dazzling array of hues. I guess it takes all kinds of colors to make a bureaucratic rainbow."

Chap 20: "Molly and I each had to get under one of Morgan’s arms and half carry him to the trail. I left Molly and Mouse with him, went back half carry him to the trail. I left Molly and Mouse with him, went back and got the wheelchair, and dragged it..."

I put the duplicated info in bold. These are direct copies from mobireader. I suspect some readers skim or read quickly and never register the problem. I had to look a couple of times to find the chap 9 error again, since I was actually reading, just skimming to find a problem and I knew it was in the first paragraph of a chapter, but went by it several times before finding it (by forcing myself to read each chapter start slowly).

Interestingly, although it doesn't help on Kindle, if you use the reader in Calibre, there is only a single blank line between paragraphs (two-sh between "sections", which happens now and then inside a chapter). Mobireader and Kindle both add the extra large spacing, so it seems to be an inherent problem in interpreting the DIV codes, not a coding problem per se.
