No I am fine with my gourd.
The line height appearance depends on on the specific font. Some of them are just fine with .8 and some look cramped with 1.5. As it is now even with standard Kobo fonts the line height appears at least 30% more than it should.
I've been setting reading preferences on very many reading devices, and believe me there are plenty that look just fine with .8. For some people who read fast and a lot- it helps to maximize the use of the page space- small margins all around, small line height means more reading enjoyment. Again I am suggesting giving people control, so each can choose what is personally more comfortable.
