It's commonly referred to as the Jon-Jon method in many circles.

When I'm reading, I'll usually notice ridiculous gaps before a ragged-right edge. But mostly, I really don't care. If the book is engaging, the justification tends to "go away."

Obviously people are more accustomed to full justification in books. But they've frankly never been given a choice in the matter until very recently. So I suspect what they prefer is yet to be determined. Now that choices are available, time will tell.
