my point is this,

I converted a book in calibre with line height settings, When I opened the book in my Glo I was confused as to why the line height slider wouldn't work, I then spent hours with calibre converting the book with different line height settings trying to establish what the issue was, to no avail. Frustrated and confused I came here and through this forum I discovered that it's a complex issue dependant on the publisher and how calibre converts the CSS properties, and that the only way to rectify the line height issue is by modifying the code and CSS properties.

I don't see why calibre can't be more specific on how each eReader handles the flattened CSS "stuff" by incorporating in Calibre's conversion thingy a message which instructs the user what to do to enable the eReader's adjusters to work, after all if you guys know that Calibre flattens the CSS stuff, whatever that means, surely the dev's could build in some type of feedback which notifies the user that some reader settings wont work.

My anger at this lack of feedback stems from the fact that I have a large collection which I've been converting in batches as I go along, I now have to return to each book and individually reconvert with remove "line-height", very very annoying and time consuming.
