Kindles have always had the best looking books to me. Best looking fonts and readability. Every single paper book I pull of the shelf has full justified. Not one has ragged right edges. I want my kindle books to look as close to their paper version as possible. I don't miss hyphens I guess, been reading on kindles since 2008. I rather not have it than it being a pain as I have seen some apps do it.
But I don't notice anything different with this new update. I put it on last night.
Everything seems the same to me.

Books are fully justified, but they are professionally typeset. That's my problem with full justification on Kindles: they look horrible compared to books, in my opinion. There is just way too much whitespace in between words. But I also don't care about making my Kindle look like a book: I just want to read comfortably.
The Nook can do hyphenation, and although it's been a while since I've read mine, I don't recall many huge problems with full justification, even though it's clearly below the quality of a printed book. Without hyphenation, I find the Kindle's full justification a joke.
