Wolfie, don't be silly. Of course they can. Their intention is obviously to allow that at some point, otherwise, they wouldn't bother with the prohibition. (Moreover, we don't know what setting the alignment can do, vis-a-vis ET, either.)

The default display alignment for "Kindles," including the software ones, is justified. That doesn't mean it will always be that way--look at the massive differences, in Kindles (even just the eInks) today, versus 2009. Thre's no reason that we can't reliably expect Amazon to come out with a generation of devices (or upgrade the soft/firmware) to enable ragged-right, if people prefer it, sometime soonish, I should think.
