Okay, thanks. Currently the Box Set of the first three books (not including the Prequel) are on sale now for 99 cents (both at Amazon and B&N). So I thought -- perhaps -- B&N hadn't gotten the newest version, and bought the set there. It's horribly formatted -- sentences broken in half, tiny font -- so, apparently the author self-publishes and must have rushed out new editions. Hopefully these will be fixed. Since the ragged right margin is better than the awful formatting, I guess I'll return the B&N version. (The first book in this series (Casey Hill series) was formatted professionally -- both on the Nook and Kindle -- I got both because I wanted to compare the two formats. It was offered for free.) Now I see that, originally these books were published by Simon & Schuster, but the new publisher appears to be either "Little Blue Book" or Casey Hill. I guess that explains the drop in quality. Maybe I'll email the author at his (her?) website.

For some reason I thought all Kindle books were justified.
