Well, I have to confess, I never tested it beyond realizing what had happened, in the infamous "my last formatter was competent and I thought you guys knew what you were doing" debacle of line-heights. He sent me screenshots from his newer Fire, and I finally got it--what had happened. He'd said he'd sideloaded it, via USB and I could see the results with my own eyes. I didn't bother testing it to figure out HOW, because from my viewpoint, it didn't really matter--the end result, for the published book, was still going to be 1.2ems.
So--if I understand you--you're saying that if you create a 1.0em-line-height mobi file and either a) email it to your own Kindle email account, or b) sideload it via USB or c) sideload it via WiFi like Doubloo (sp?), all of those will honor the 1.0em,and not automagically convert to the 1.2em?
Really? I could have sworn that somewhere in time, I saw an emailed file (via PDoc) change, but crap, now I'm going to have to test it the next time I have time.
