I have a first generation Kindle DX, which I love...but could love a lot more...

I recently altered the reader preferences file to allow left-justification, which (for me) greatly improves readability. And last night, while clumsily reaching for my DX, I hit some mysterious combination of buttons and the text switched to a double-space format. Oh. My. God. It was amazing, and completely revolutionized the reading experience, and was SO much easier on my eyes. The change persisted in every book, but there was still no line-spacing option in the "Aa" menu, and the minute I did a reset the line-spacing went back to the crowded default format. I can't replicate the glitch.

I have seen font hacks everywhere, but NOTHING to change line spacing. Does anyone have *any* idea how to make this happen? Any tricks? I never jailbreak anything, but the difference between single and double spacing was so awesome that I wouldn't hesitate to jailbreak and invalidate my warranty in a *heartbeat* if I could get doublespacing back.

Please...tell me...is anyone working on this? Any ideas?
