Nevertheless, IMHO it does the basic job of displaying the page of a book better than any other Mobi implementation that I've seen, and certainly
much better than the BeBook. One of my friends has recently bought a BeBook, so I've had a chance to directly compare the two. There really is no comparison between them - the book display on the Gen3 is unquestionably better.
I really must disagree with your assertion that "the justification is done badly". In the overwhelming majority of lines in a book, the justification is done just fine. What you are referring to, I imagine, is that fact that it no longer attempts
not to fully justify lines with a very small number of words on them as it used to. One might argue that this is the correct behaviour when full justification has been requested.
At least one can switch between left and full justification on the Gen3 - something which the BeBook cannot do.
