Which "awkward spacing" are you referring to??

If you are referring to the horizontal word spacing seen in the third line then there is nothing you can do other than to spec the book to use left alignment instead of justification or to use different reading software. There is nothing you can do in the book's code to change the reader's justification decisions (word spacing, letter spacing, hyphenization, and/or not justifying a problem line).

If you are referring to the vertical spacing before line five, then there are things you can do that can/may help. You can either change the superscript endnote to not be superscript or reduce it's size. The former always works to restore uniform line spacing but looses the traditional look. The latter, size reduction while retaining the superscript, works sometimes with some reading software depending on the amount of the size reduction and the abilities of the ereader.
