Get rid of the line-height. They have no meaning in AZW3. AZW3 defaults to a large line height and there's no way in the CSS to reduce that. Amazon's firmware does not allow that. The only way to reduce the line height of KF8 is to use a font that's got the metrics adjusted for a smaller line height on the Kindle. My modified CharisSIL is just such a font since I did tweak the metrics so it has a smaller line height.

The thing to change is...
Code:
.calibre {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.2;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
text-align: justify;
margin: 0 5pt
}
to...
Code:
.calibre {
display: block;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
text-align: justify;
margin: 0
}
As the XML will have <body class="calibre">

Another change is to change text-indent: 0.8em to text-indent: 1.2em. .8em is too small for an indent.
