Only PDFs (and thus for POD or other publishing, or fixed layout for tablets) should have a line-height. Leave it undefined in Wordprocessor style and then conversion from docx to epub has no line-height in CSS. Amazon uses epub source to make mobi, azw3 and kfx.

The CSS line-height and many other valid CSS only make sense on web pages, not ebooks!
Do you also agree that there should be no margins set and let the program/device being used handle them?
