I don't have to own a Kindle to know what's not nice. Heck, Kobo has a similar issue with line height except, you can override that in CSS which you cannot do with a Kindle. I've seen my share of Kindle's in person and I used a Kindle Touch to make my modified Charis SIL so it works well with KF8. Charis SIL unmodified is not a good fit for KF8. Actually, most fonts aren't a good fit without modification.

That's because many ebook designers are most likely not aware of the HTML5/CSS3 features that KF8 supports. For example, in KF8 files, it's possible to add shadow effects to fonts and to rotate text freely, however, it takes a creative designer to do something interesting with these new features. I'm pretty sure that over time we'll see KF8 books that take full advantage of these new features in a creative way.

Doubtful. It would mean creating yet another eBook which I doubt most publishers will do. It's easier to use the ePub as the source and be done with it.
