Great! Actual scientific comparison screenshots trumps silliness! (Now now my friend Agama, why did you use that crappy GIF format and not PNG?)

Now, back to the "Do's and Don'ts of EPUB Formatting":

Do: Use a pleasing default line-height (~1-1.2em (MAYBE 1.3em)), or leave on defaults so user can choose whatever his heart desires.

Don't: Use a line-height of OVER 9000!!!!!
