If you've got 10-15 words/line, justification is nice. 7-10, it's okay, if the text doesn't alternate between large and small words so that you have large gaps on the screen. If you're reading at a large enough size that you get 3-5 words per line, justification is atrocious.
And some people just don't like it. It works very well to define the sections in columned text like newspapers and textbooks, but for books, it's a trade-off between "neat margins the eye can follow easily" and "potential large spaces in the middles of lines." Especially with ereaders' inability to stretch out letters inside words and limited support for hyphenation, justification often looks ugly on a 5" screen.
