&lt;p&gt;For the line-height problem, the ePUB specification could add some CSS property or syntax to provide relative lengths. There are already custom properties like &amp;quot;oeb-page-head&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;    </content>

&lt;p&gt;@Jellby: Ooh -- I hadn't thought of that, but that's actually a pretty good idea.  Maybe add a new unit which is interpreted as the line-height of the current element, or of the parent when setting the line-height (just like 'em' is for font-size).  Any non-compliant viewers would just ignore the unit they don't understand.  Nice and elegant.&lt;/p&gt;    </content>

&lt;p&gt;Hear, hear. I was was in the same boat and found that while it's pretty easy to find illegal books, it's straight impossible to find legitimate books... anywhere. I did the obvious thing and browsed Amazon but just found a few Kindle books (thanks, but no).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best I could do was project Gutenburg. No wonder EBooks never took off.&lt;/p&gt;    </content>
