ETA: I realize that this probably won't be very helpful. There are several values that are part of this example/recommendation with no indication of how they were derived or under what circumstances they would need to be changed.
The problem is, they're not suited for all the KF8 readers. We use/create DCs all the time, but these are not the Droids you're looking for. (They've had these in the PG since...I think 2012?)

Unless you can control line-height perfectly, or the font that will be used, it's a major headache. If and when Amazon makes it possible to target CSS via media-queries, to specific devices, this type of problem will continue.

Offered solely FWIW.
