spacing problem in Kindle AZW3 converted from rtf file

Please forgive this newby question, which I'm sure has been discussed before.

My goal is to transfer my manuscript of quotes for distribution via Kindle.

I first formatted the text and created a pdf that can be used for viewing on the computer.

Following suggestions read on this forum, I then used CALIBRE to convert the rft manuscript to AZW3. The problem is line spacing. Attached you can see:
a. sample from the pdf, with proper line spacing
b. sample from the reformatted rtf, still respecting the line spacing design
c. photo of Kindle screen that shows wrong line spacing.

I do read in the forums that I need to play with the CSS codes for text height and line height to create the design I desire. My questions at this point are:
1. where are these codes in the rtf file? how can I view them? I can see the pilcrows but nothing more than that.
2. what program should I use to try to edit those?

thank you.
