I have the following in my setupfile, which I think greatly improves
the default look:
#+latex_header: \usepackage[hmargin=2.5cm,vmargin=2.5cm]{geometry}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{paralist}
#+latex_header: \setlength{\parskip}{0.5cm} \setlength{\parindent}{0cm}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{mathpazo}
The \parskip and \parindent options should get you in the ballpark of
what you're looking for (non-indented new paragraphs, white space
between consecutive paragraphs).
The others widen the text space and use a nicer font.
Good luck!
