I took a closer look at the BeBook Mobi reader, and in fact the justification depends on the book. "The Black Swan" is left justified and looks pretty good, especially in Times font. "A History Of Western Philosophy" is full justified and looks a bit cheap, and the same font selection looks not so good. In contrast, the FBReader is full justified with hyphenation, and looks great (although I would like to be able to control the hyphenation format a little better, because it sometimes doesn't split words as you would in English, but rather just based on characters per line, but I'm used to it now).

So in fact it may be the Mobi source formatting that causes more problems than the BeBook implementation - I'll have to try some more!
