I agree with this, but I have seen both of SkyDogs examples in epubs and the second one does what he described. I didn't play with it, just removed it and changed the class on the next paragraph. But since then, I have been wondering why this didn't work as I am sure I have seen it working at other times. I don't think I have the original version to retest with.

Kobo allows user configuration of Line Spacing (line-height in css terms) but will override with the epub's own css, if present. Unfortunately the Kobo minimum setting for Line Spacing is rather larger (1.3) than many would probably prefer, so this could be an issue.
Unless this has changed in the latest firmware, the Kobo devices respect the line-height in the epub. I did some tests on this last year with different line-height values. From memory I started with 0.1 and it seemed to do what what was expected.

I don't mind the minimum that Kobo uses, but I think they should have allowed a minimum of 1. The annoying thing is that they actually allow a minimum of 1.225 (from memory) but you have to edit the conf file to set this.
