On my Kindle, which completely ignores CSS line-height, you have a choice of three line-height settings for all books. Not very bespoke is it? Ideal leading depends on font x-height. And on PocketBook Reader I could only get the line-height I liked by writing the CSS for it myself, which it can still alter. But why alter it when it is actually fine now I have addressed it, unlike what was possible before I set line-height in CSS. People don't take paper books back to the shop because they're so horrified by the leading. Perhaps too much fuss is being made of this.

The thing is, this is an eBook. It's not a pBook where the only choices you have is to read it or not. Some Readers and programs have options to change some of the way the eBook looks. The things you should not set are line-height, margins, and a font-size for the main body text. You cannot go just on Pocketbook Reader as that;s just one program. So you have to set things for the way it works for most. And that means margins to 0, no line-height and default font size for the main text.
