Kindle Fire Launched- The Tablet From Amazon

It's raining tablets! The days are not far when you use your laptops and smartphones like current Desktop systems. Tablets have exhibited immense potential in the technology market worldwide.

Adafruit GFX - How to change line spacing in text?

You may want to update the line spacing to be a little lower than default due to small screen size on IoT devices. I faced this challenge while working on a Watchy hobby project. You may have used a font generator or just using the default fonts and got a *.h file that has the details of the font. In that case just change the last integer value in the PROGMEM variable.
