Only possible by switching to a not-Kindle.

This works because it creates messed up font-metrics. The font is bigger than it should be and the line-spacing (if not set in CSS) is based on the font at correct size. So when user changes the GUI font size back to normal the line spacing reduces.

I had thought this was a way to over-ride Amazon stupidity (you also need a negative 1.5% approx overall margins).

In the end, it's less work to buy a Kobo and use the Paperwhite Serial number (pre-2024 models) for Download and Transfer, using a plug-in on Calibre to automatically remove DRM. Then convert to epub and read on anything not a Kindle to avoid Amazon's artificial stupidity.

This is a good idea, but it's too much work for most people.
