Thanks, Anna. This is my third time. I had to go back and redo the paragraph spacing on the other two when I noticed they were all jumbled together in the "read online" feature. In fact, I'm still working on the updates.

Yep, I read it. As I recall it recommends that you don't add spacing to your paragraphs, while Amazon's guide recommends .01 spacing. Maybe I misread it, but that was my downfall on my first two. I needed to retain the .01 spacing to keep them from running together. It didn't affect the downloads, but without that spacing, they overlapped on the online reading sample.
