I'm not sure where you got this idea - maybe from a particular set of reviewers who don't know what they're talking about? The line spacing can squish all the way up, unless you choose to read an ebook that forces otherwise. The cm at the bottom is, at least on the Glo, useful so that the minor LED headlamping doesn't project into the text.

I just checked the book I'm reading at the moment - there are 30 lines of text on the screen, not 18.
