Must be part of the new typesetting but it isn't supposed to work on the available firmware yet, correct?
Just guessing here, but they might have been MOBI rather than AZW3. I've noticed MOBI has smaller line spacing than AZW3 on all three settings.

Well, there's definitely something funny-weird going on; not sure if I'd agree it's funny-ha-ha.

Another thought I had is that only AZK (and perhaps MOBI) requires rejiggering for the enhanced typesetting to work, and for AZW3s, the enhanced typesetting is controlled entirely on the device-side. That would explain why Amazon has been rejiggering their Kindlebooks without it seeming to make any difference in the AZW3s we've seen.
