I just made a test file and you are right. I wonder if some default or functionality have changed recent versions of LaTeX. Or maybe it is just my memory that is broken

That would, of course, be a great improvement. But there are two remaining "problems":
- If you are going to use a small screen or a large font, the lines are going to be shorter than what's usual in printed books.
- If top-quality typography is desired, one has sometimes to add some manual tweaks here and there, or even rewrite a passage (to avoid long, hyphenated words, to add a couple of lines and prevent a widow...). This is fine if you are going to typeset once and for all, but it's not feasible for a reflowable text.
Both these things mean, in my opinion, that for ebooks one has to allow for more flexibility and be a bit more permissive than with printed books. Still, I agree there's room for improvement and we should try to get the best possible result.

I agree.
I think you have to accept a certain amount of underfull and overfull hboxes. But wouldn't it be fun to have counters for underfull and overfull hboxes displayed when reading the text...
