Well, I'm not angry particularly, but I certainly agree with your dislike for the hyphens and the frustration with them. I find right-justified text much easier to read (no idea what the mechanism behind that is), but hyphenation like mac-
hine really diminishes it.

I have quite a number of books where the right-justification appears to be written into the CSS, so the best interim solution I can see would be to have the option to turn the hyphenation off.

I use justified text as my standard setting as well, but I don't see hyphenation as an improvement. Certainly not when it appears to be haphazard, and breaks your reading stride when you have to pause to reconstruct the word.

Sorry WS64, I would have joined in on the discussion, but I didn't see the thread.

I'd hate to see the KT being too closely tied to Calibre, certainly to the point of relying on it for functionality. I know I'm very much swimming against the tide on this, but I personally don't like Calibre and don't use it (or particularly want to).
