What on earth are you using to read / test ebooks?
Overall page margin has an app or ereader default (too large offset added in Kindle, so 0 is best). The line height has an app or ereader default.
I hope you are not making a Print Replica ebook. They are a disaster.
In just about every sane app & ereader (but note Kindle adds about 50 px to base L & R setting) the defaults work, but the user, the person reading, can set them. But certainly can't adjust line height if it's in the CSS on many readers.
Of course the font face (metrics) and font size set a default line height on any sensible renderer so as descenders don't touch tallest item on line below.
