[QUOTE=amyg;2204668]It should be pointed out that simply having blank space between paragraphs on an ebook will not sufficiently signify to the reader that there is a scene break if it happens to fall on a page break.[quote]

It is, if the space is done with margin-top instead of margin-bottom. At least if the reader is compliant and does not throw away margins after a soft pagebreak... Otherwise, it can be done with a fixed-height <div> and page-break-after: avoid.

Quote:
Also, realize that in novels, the paragraph after the blank space should not have the first line indented. JSWolf's example has it right (text-indent: 0).
That depends on the novel, I've seen both cases (in paper books published by respected publishers). Note that in some languages other than English, all paragraphs are typically indented no matter what.
