i find that justified reflowable text has irregular spaces between words and i don't like the way it looks. you can see this in the screen shot above ; look at the line "blue drilling, worn and" for example. when i justify text for print, i manage the linebreaks and kerning manually, sometimes line by line. the idea is that if you look at a bloc of text and squint you should see a uniformly grey rectangle. since this is not possible in reflowable text i prefer to display aligned left, which is easier to read anyway. i rarely use justified text online (reflowable), unless a client specifically requests it. it's perhaps a product of my profession and i imagine it's also a personal preference. if you prefer justified text that's a question of your own personal taste as well. that's one of the nice things about ebooks, is each person can have the presentation they prefer.
