That did the trick, Calibre took care of it, I'll change the set up for ePub thanks.

There are two ways to fix this: a) for DRM-free ePubs use Calibre to change the text alignment (to left) one ebook at a time, or b) change the default for all ePubs on your PRS-950.

I am not an expert on the PRS-950, but it is my understanding that you need a modified firmware to allow a user-provided userStyle.css (to over-ride justification). See SONY PRS950 for Chinese - problem with book title. You don't care about fonts, but this allows a userStyle.css.

What I use for calibre extra-css or as userStyle.css:
Code:
body {
    font-family: sans-serif;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-align:  left;
}
You don't need to use the font-family or font-weight defaults unless you like sans-serif (default is serif) or an always bold font. Just delete the lines you don't want.
