As you can see all are readable and I think as a minimum line height goes it is a good starting point.
That is a pretty limited example. It is readable, but looks strange because of all the repeated text. More importantly, nowhere in it do the risers and descenders meet or even come close.

Try the attached ePub. It sets a different line height for the first few paragraphs from 0.7 to 1.3. Looking at it on either my Glo or Touch, none of the fonts would give me a comfortable read under 1.0. And I think I would choose 1.1 for most fonts.
