Yeah, it's bizarre that somebody appears to consider hyphenation a new idea. This is probably the largest discrepancy (in favor of the Nook) between the Nook and Kindle, in my opinion. When I first started reading fully justified text on my Voyage, I was pretty surprised at how bad it looked. Thankfully Calibre can make everything ragged right, but this was never even an issue on my Nook, except on the rare occasions the hyphenation engine died.

I'm glad the Kindle is improving its typography, although it's kind of pathetic how bad it's been for so long. But it's apparently not a big deal to most people, so what are you going to do?
