As you can see all are readable and I think as a minimum line height goes it is a good starting point.
As far as search versus file manager goes- file manager is far easier and faster to implement for users with different language books, than search, it is a work around, but I do not expect to have search in languages that are not supported yet to be available any time soon. Also file manager is something that I can do work once and then use it on many devices if I need to, shelves must be recreated and each device has them their way. Even without need for different languages, I'd always take file manager over shelves.

We are going to have to agree to disagree. In several of your examples, the . over the j in jumped contacts the descender in the j above it which to me, is unacceptable. In others, it is too close to contact for me to be comfortable reading for any length of time.
As for recreating shelves, I don't use any shelves. I use search against the database to locate files in a very simple directory structure on the ereader. For me, that removes any need for shelves. My original attempts at using shelves ended with books on 3 or 4 shelves and several hundred shelves which was a pain to maintain and even more of a pain to restore after a factory reset. So now I just use the search function. If I could specify the search criteria such as author, title, etc., it would be an improvement but that would add considerably to the complexity of the search interface -- a build your own SQL query interface is pretty unlikely to be delivered.
Unlike you, most of my books use a Latin alphabet and for those few that are not, I use Latin characters for the metadata so search works for me. A pain in some cases but since I'm running most of the ebooks I get through Sigil in any event, not that much added trouble.
