That it do something better then some other reader does not mean that it do it really really well. I also think that for now the Gen3 MobiPocket reader is better than the one on the Bebook.

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.
I am referring to the fact that big white spaces between words disturbs my reading since I see them and think about them. I was interested in typography some years ago and I really notice bad typography. The solution they had before did not result in bad typography that disturbed my reading.
