I haven't noticed it. In the current kepub I am reading, the second line of each new chapter is slightly indented; I am guessing the original intent was a drop cap.
I am surprised to read here that kerning is supported; I would have thought not.
Can this phenomenon be seen with all fonts? Do you see it with typical characters-per-line such as 55-80?
I'm not convinced hyphenation is preferable since auto-hyphenation tends to make glaring errors which would be far more distracting than a little white space at the end of a line.
Kindle's solution is glaring: its algorithm allows no more than 2 word spaces between words and then dumps the balance at the end of the line.
And, maybe it's just me, but I tend to read with the page directly facing, not at an oblique angle ... unless I am about to fall asleep.
