It's all subjective, of course. I prefer tight line-spacing to high descenders any time; you, vice versa. For that reason (and others, like custom font sizes) I could never use KFX on my Kindles. I have 33 lines per page on my 7'' Libra 2 and that's what feels optimal to me. I don't want any headers, footers, clock etc taking up space either; the progress bar is enough. On a Kobo, you can adjust the height of top and bottom margins with patching.

It's not totally impossible I'll buy a Kindle again in the future, but reading KFX is out of the question for me.
