Text Justification on Kindle (K4 NT)

Hello!

When an e-book is justified the Kindle needs to adjust spacing between words so that eventually the text appears justified. There seem to be two ways through which the Kindle handles this.

First is where the adjustment for the spacing is done within the line. Sometimes this tends to create weird-looking large spaces between words. The other way is where the adjustment is made at the end of the line, which leaves some space only at the end of the line.

So my doubt is, whether there is any specific way to format an epub so that the converted mobi file displays justification only of the second type? (I use Kindle Previewer for converting epubs to mobi.) 'Cause I'm not too much of a fan of large spaces appearing all over the line. Is there a way?


Thanks a lot. The thing is, though I appreciate their hard-work, the formatting of Kindle books on Gutenberg – paragraph spacing, indent – is not really to my liking. Thank you!
