And who are they kidding with line spacing > 1.4 for the main work

I've seen something just as stupid with 15% margins for the chapter header. Also, I've seen on a lot of Kindle eBooks an indent of 7%. And then a 1em paragraph space takes me out of the book. It feels like it should be the start of a new section or some offset text.
