It's not a stylistic difference but a semantic one: the text is formatted using br instead of p. This means that on a reading system where the user can select things such as indentation for the paragraphs or paragraph spacing, these settings won't work.

A 127-pages long text flow can also be problematic for devices with limited memory such as the Sony Reader. If a text flow is longer than 300k it won't be able to open the file: that's why I asked if the text could use page breaks.

Finally, there's no need to point out to a specific format: they're all affected by the problem with paragraphs.

After downloading I took an immediate look to see what I thought about the style, in response to Hadrien's comment. It's 127 pages, and it's nicely formatted into paragraphs. There may not be separate chapters; I didn't spot any, but I didn't want to look too closely because I actually plan to READ the book. The paragraphs don't use first line indentation. That's a stylistic decision and if you don't agree you don't need to be insulting about it.

I downloaded the PDF version; perhaps Hadrien's criticism was of a different version. Of course intelligent criticism of stylistic issues would include definition of the version being criticized, wouldn't it?
