...and I would NEVER go back to reading paper books, for the simple reason that I need to be able to adjust the font size.

Shari--I agree! It's great that we can all have our own preferences and that e-readers allow us to modify the display as we choose! I'm firmly in the full justification camp when reading a novel. I don't know why, but that's what I want to see. And regarding font size--that changes with the lighting and how tired my eyes are. It's something I frequently change--sometimes multiple times in one reading session.
