@aral Most printed books use justified text. In fact, all 10 of the ones I just picked off my desk pile were justified.

@KevlinHenney Yes. And they also hyphenate said justified text. Which the Kindle does not. Hence my tweet :) -
@aral See follow-up tweet. I suspect if they hyphenated you would still tweet, but about the poor quality of the hyphenation ;-) -
@KevlinHenney Some browsers have pretty good hyphenation now. Any is a world better than none.

@aral yeah. biggest fucking letdown, ragged-left would look SO much better. -
@janl Exactly. It blows my mind. This is a *reading* device! -
@aral and otherwise so pleasant. -
@janl Well, I have issues with the nav & text selection too. Too easy to lose your place &accidentally switch pages… -
@aral yeah, fair enough, I only really care about the core reading experience, I understand the trade-offs there.

@aral As for hyphenation, lack of support may be a small mercy: it's hard to get good hyphenation support; I suspect theirs would fail. -
@KevlinHenney You never set justified text without hyphenation. You just don’t. Period. No ifs, no buts.
