I'm new to kindle, having been a dedicated Sony 505 person till now. I just have a few basic questions.

Does Calibre convert lots of different formats: epub, txt, pdf, and many others but especially epub into a format which perfectly displays justified text on the Kindle (paperwhite 2)? The problem I have with the 505 is that it makes a poor job of displaying justified lrf which have been converted from epub. This was one of the main reasons for the Kindle purchase.

I like reading pd classics downloaded from MR, but the uploaders who format the great books on MR have stopped uploading the lrf format. The epubs just don't look right on the 505.

Please move this to the Kindle forum if necessary.
Thanks.
