Hi
I just noticed that I totally dislike the line-height of the books I read on my Kobo (Libra H20). Most books seem to fill a complete blank line between each and every line ... and therefore waste a lot of space ... so I'm way too often forced to paginate.
I have one book where I like the line-height ... there is almost none:
And lot's of others, where the wasted space is dis comfortable.
The way I load books: normally I use calibre and load books onto the reader with kobo utilities plugin, which does kepub.epub conversion. Just to be sure that this isn't the source of trouble I also tried some epubs converted 'kepubify' but with similar results.
What I don't understand in particual is, that the CSS style 'line-height' seems not to be interpreted. I can even set negative sizes (.e.g line-height: 0.5em; ) which will make the book unreadable on calibre viewer, due to overlapping lines. ....but the Kobo is totally resilient to these settings.
Is this a known issue? Anything special the kobo store books do that these converters are not aware of? I really see no obvious problem in the stylesheets, but maybe there is a trick?
The only thing I found that relaxes the situation a little is to set tiny font size (e.g. 0.8 em) to see more content on one page. But this can get really tedious to read
