Yep, I like my books left aligned,no ident, no margins, no set linehight, no preferred size of font and no font set,new chapter start at a new page.
I have all this beautiful sliders to set it the way I like it and the designers overrule all this, what can I do with my favorite fonts when the designer want me to read it in his font which he includes in every book.
Most readers are perfect capable to leave this to the user.
Some books need it, they have beautiful starting chapter letters like a monk calligraphed it by itself, then it really adds something but for the rest of it, I want full control !

Thank you for your beautiful suggestions, I will look forward to it,but for now I rather like it without hyphenation, I will unzip the dictionary's to inspect them.
If it saves space,it is useful but to do it ,for example at a 12 letter word and put the - after 2 letters at the end,it make it not really look better, expecially if the line also ends with that word,then only the part behind the - will fill that line and leave the rest empty.. then it adds nothing to the reading experience.
