I wonder if the spaces between paragraphs is a trick they use to pad the page counts.
Thing is, the idea is to format shift the Kindle eBook to ePub and fix up the ePub. But with the code in the KF8 eBook so bad, I've actually given up and moved on to read something else.

I've seen one Kindle eBook where the entire eBook was one file and the CSS was all media queries.

The problem (I think) is that these authors use some sort of authoring program that they should not be using.

I have over 1200 purchased Amazon books, so that is kind of big, plus all the Kindle Unlimiteds.
Kindle Unlimited is up to 10 at a time. So there isn;t all that many KU eBooks in your library.
