It's more complex than that, due to css in general rather than a Kobo-specific problem.
1. If an epub has set line-height only in body {...}, or not at all, then the Kobo will overwrite with its Line Spacing slider setting.
2. If an epub has set line-height in a body class, e.g. body.calibre {...} or .calibre {...} then the Kobo will honour the epub and the Kobo cannot adjust line spacing up/down.
3. If an epub has set line-height lower than body, e.g. p, div, blockquote, h1, ... etc, then see 2. In this case it will be only the relevant portions of text which the Kobo cannot adjust line spacing for.
However, if you are fairly happy with line-height:1.2, then there is a much simpler way. You can text edit the Kobo config file to have line spacing=1.225 (it's not
much bigger than 1.2
) You can type a lower number but davidfor reliably informs us that 1.225 is the lowest value Kobo will use. Having done that you need to make sure you never touch the Line Spacing slider again or the config file will automatically reset to the line spacing value you just accidentally touched (min 1.3).
Clear as mud? All this info is based on using a Kobo Glo for the last 6 months. It's possible the AuraHD is different. I won't know till next week (hopefully).
