4. I've read thousands (many) of books in my life.

Formatting is unimportant to me, really, in the books I read. As long as the words are legible, I'm good. I realize that not everyone is as tolerant as I am, but publishing conventions have changed over the years and even centuries. I'm just not concerned with such stuff, really. I read for reading's sake. Formatting just doesn't matter to me. It's the content I'm concerned with.

I read mostly on my Kindle these days. If I wish, I can change the font, size and line spacing for any Kindle book. Somehow, though, I never do.

Interestingly enough, the convention for on-screen content is to have space between paragraphs. That is going to affect printed matter, as well, I have no doubt, over time.
