We are going backwards here. We have Kindles with 1.2 and Kobos with 1.3. Both which are too large. The Kobo can be fixed via CSS and the only way Kindles can be fixed is to edit the metrics of the font so it has a smaller line height. I've done that for the Kindle (for KF8) using Charis SIL and it worked very well.

It's disgraceful when a Reader and/or app has defaults that cannot easily be overridden and those defaults are obnoxious.
