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.
Actually, in theonna's .pdf example, the dot on the j in jumped overlapped with the descender on the j in several of his examples.
