Although Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines specify that main body text should be "device defaults," which means no text-alignment code, A LOT (most?) authors/publishers do—without any problems! I knew that KDP was barking up the wrong tree with their suggestion to remove text-align:justify; from the mobi7 CSS. But I'll try whatever they suggest since they're willing to continue the investigation.

So now, since removing that code, the Last Mulligan Look Inside has ragged-right margins, of course. It was so pretty before. Is there any way to change that? Almost all e-books have full justification in the Look Inside.

I think I mentioned earlier that I see some wild hyphens in David Mamet's The Secret Knowledge, in my Fire HD (7 inch). Even odder, that book is formatted ragged right!
Yes, I see auto-hyphens and left alignment, too. That book was published by Sentinel (Penguin) in 2011.

KDP sent me an e-mail this morning to let me know they're continuing their investigation. I probably won't make any changes until I hear from them again, but I am keeping a list of suggestions from forum members to try in the future. Thanks, everyone!
