As for this being a duplicate thread, I dunno about anyone else but I tend to hang out here more than ebook general and don't remember seeing the other one.
Hyphenation, when done carefully, can be an effective way to make justification work more smoothly, but you do have to be wary of using the defaults.

ETA: I meant to say also: I tend to hang out here most too (and a few other selected threads), if I start to wander the other subforums too much I lose half-a-day and don't get anything else done.

This response surprised me. Your first book appears to be fully justified, was that your choice or something that happened during the conversion process?

I think they call that asking a loaded question. It's like those phone surveys they do. If you only ask for those responses you want to hear, you get to ignore those ones you don't want by pretending they don't exist. I see "Don't care" as a fully legitimate and distinct response to the question of text justification.
