If adding line-height:1.2; to .calibre reduces the line spacing, then either the book had a much larger line-height set in .calibre already, or you have the line-spacing adjustment slider on your Aura set to a large spacing.
In either case I think you would be better to remove any existing line-height setting from .calibre and use your line spacing adjutment slider to set the line spacing from the device, rather than setting a fixed line spacing in the book.
(Having line-height set in .calibre will prevent the line spacing adjustment slider from working in the ePub reader, but should have no effect at all in the KePub reader.)
Edit: As for Calibre convesion settings, make sure the minimum line height is not set larger than 120%, and I would disable the font size rescaling which can cause unexpected effects in combination with line-height set in body if the line-height has em units. But I haven't found any setting in Calibre that gives perfect results, it is always necessary to fix up the various problems caused by conversion manually, even when converting ePub to ePub.
