Can justification be changed on the K2?

Gentlefolk;

A couple weeks ago, I purchased my most expensive book ever for the K2 - John Nagl's book "Eating Soup with a Knife".

The Kindle formatting is not what I would be hoping for considering the price I paid for this... around $15 IIRC. Mostly Im vexed by the poor justification implementation. It is fully-justified which makes for some very awkward lines, some containing three words that are very spread out.

I don't see an option to change the display to left-justified (ragged right). Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Don

If I am not mistaken, Kindle 1 allowed switching between fully justified and left justified. Kindle 2 and DX by default fully justify all text unless the formatting in the book specifically says that the text must be left justified. So, without modifying the source of the book, you cannot change the look on Kindle 2 or DX.
