It is talking about the CSS attribute "text-align". This makes the text left/center/right/justified.
Amazon wants this to be controllable by the user's preferences, so when the book forces the entire text into a certain justification, it degrades the user experience.
You will have to open up the EPUB in an editor (many of us use Sigil), open the .css file, and search for "text-align".
Here is an example:
Code:
p {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
line-height: 1.2em;
text-align: justify;
text-indent: 2em;
}
You can then remove the entire text-align attribute (marked in red).
Instead of the device now making every paragraph justified, it will default to whatever justification the device/user preferences say.

Kindlegen is the only software officially supported by Amazon, and if you are converting to MOBI using Calibre, that will most likely introduce trouble.
If you already have the original EPUB, there is no reason you should NOT be using Kindlegen to generate files for Amazon.
