We might end up with large gaps in place of empty lines. In this case simple doubling won't help. Some extra steps are needed to fix it.
Anyway, I don't want to convert every simple standard text file into something else. I would rather fool around with outdated Gutenberg files if I need them. Here is how:
1. Replace every double break with some placeholder (like "@@@");
2. Only single breaks are left at line ends. Replace each of them with a space.
3. Replace every "@@@" with a break. That will create line breaks where they are supposed to be.
4. Load into JetBook and enjoy.
Not perfect, but good enough. A simple Word macro will automate the whole procedure.
So, Ectaco, give us our text files back!

I'm not sure about Word 2007, but the old ones used to have a "Format All" command that would do that.
