We're only 35 miles from home, by sea.  But by car, I have to drive all the way back up the the 'neck' of the view on my right, over the Forth Road Bridge (which I can see from here on a clear day) and all the way back down the line of lights I'm looking at now.  100 miles drive to do those 35 miles!

For fiction, indented first lines (with no spaces between paragraphs) are a MUST. It's impossible to read dialogue-heavy scenes when the indents aren't there. To me, it screams I'm an amateur and I don't care!

I've given novels that don't follow this convention a one-star review. There's no reason that a novel published as an ebook should look inferior to its print equivalent. 

For non-fiction, either is acceptable, in my view.
