This question has been asked several times in the past.
Roughly 45% prefer left justified - because [relatively] narrow screens (and missing hyphenation on some big-name e-ink readers) mean that the spaces between words in adjacent lines are too uneven
Roughly 45% prefer full justification, because it looks better when done properly [in paper books] and paper books are traditionally printed this way and people want their readers look like printed books. By the way, the very first printed book that featured full justification (and hanging punctuation) was the Gutenberg Bible - this was a feature that they copied from hand-written texts.
And finally, about 10% of people that were interested in answering such poll have no strong opinion on the matter and will happily read in any justification.
