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.
I don't like fonts with that large a descender. I read with ChareInk6SP. On a Kindle reading in KF8, you get get a smaller line height. Also, because the font is not as wide as Bookerly, I also get more characters per line then i would using Bookerly.

One my Libra 2, I get 41 lines per page.
