I understand. Perhaps I am asking for an impossible, which is that the hardware Kindle work the same way as the software version of Kindle, which doesn't behaves like that. I was hoping that the latest firmware upgrade would make both versions work the same way.
Please note that, contrary to the behaviour you described, and even using a grotesquely large font, Kindle for iOS, if there are at least two words in a line, will always right-justify:

We can call the software Kindle's behaviour a bug, or we can call the hardware version's behaviour a bug. Or we can say simply that they behave different because internally they use different layout engines.
My point is that Amazon publicized the new layout engine as a cross-device uniform improvement, which seems not to be the case, at least in this little issue.
Thanks for you feedback.
