Perhaps a
poor design decision in this case? Couldn't a "Publisher's Default" setting provide the choice for what the publisher wants, while allowing the space to be changed by the reader
outside of the publisher's default setting? Isn't this one of the main reasons for using an eReader over a paperback book, flexibility? What's sacrosanct about one particular line space setting?
(I know that this can be side-stepped by converting with Calibre, but why should you have to?)
As for the weight of the sideloaded font I know that can be changed by patching. (Which I appreciate – but I still don't understand
why Kobo would make these design decisions.)
And one last thing. I realize that programmers and users have different nomenclatures, but, from a user's point of view, poor feature designs are nearly indistinguishable from bugs.
