For line spacing, Kobo's minimum of 1.3 is almost right for me. I'd probably use 1.2 if it was there, but it isn't enough of advantage to make me hard-code it.
So if anyone else in your family has a Kobo, you make then suffer with an overly large line height.

And for anyone who wants to know, the line spacing settings are: 1.3, 1.35, 1.4, 1.6, 1.775, 1.9, 2, 2.2, 3. I have no idea why those numbers, but they have been like this for a while.
Too big, a little bit more too big, still too big, really too big, getting really too big, awfully too big, a little bit more awfully too big, and really stupid too big.

I would like to see it go like this...

1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0.

That would work for most people.
