The trailing space could be a scanning error that just wasn't caught during formatting. I've found that lots of books are just scanned, minimally proofed, then converted...drives me nuts as a formatter. But also we're dealing with that Kindle justification problem. It also shows up with ellipsis...a trailing space so that the word, ellipsis, word doesn't get clumped together leaving just one word on the line above, weird looking. I don't use ellipsis anymore, just either space, 3 periods, space or 3 periods with space in between ( . . . ). It's an on-going battle trying to fit you text into Kindle's idea of justification! And there are so many eReader screen sizes...it keeps me up at night!
