Actually, the main reason you don't notice in print is because they use a better quality typesetting engine (like TeX). You don't have to alter the line spacing (which is also something frowned upon) if you can slightly enlarge the word spacing in some previous paragraph causing it to take one line more than the minimum. There's no reason why similar tricks couldn't be used in ebook readers, except lack of implementation and increased processing power.
