I don't expect LaTeX-quality output, since even LaTeX requires some hand-holding sometimes, but let's be honest: the Kindle's typesetting is trash. Ragged right makes it pretty readable, and I'm glad I can use Calibre to force it, but if I couldn't? I'm not sure what I'd do.

I do the same as you, but since I hate ragged right possibly more than "default" fully justified Kindle has, I just process the ebook with Saulius' Hypenate-this! plugin.
Pre-process per pre-process, using hypenate-this! allows me to have fully justification and correct hypenation.
