I prefer ragged right myself - especially since it is no longer an indicator of typesetter skills or time spent creating the book. It is no longer an "art", just a click of a button. And, more importantly, I absolutely loath the 'rivers' of white space created by substandard justification.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I remember my first real intro to rivers, in the Selectric II/IBM OS/6 days...(whatever happened to the OS/6, anyway?)...and I didn't like them then. I won't like, I don't see them anymore, unless they are egregious. Too many years staring at KF7 MOBIs.

The justification in your first image actually looks pretty good (no rivers). Is that peculiar to the new KFire, have the justification algorithms improved that much on all devices, or was that just a lucky page grab?

AFAIK, it's fairly representative. I did not notice a lot of rivers, when viewing the device's pages.
You know, it's not really designed for reading, ironically. It's HD shape, 10" on the long side/axis. It's...awkward, if you want to read, because when held the way I hold readers--portrait--it's damned long. But if you rotate it, you'll have waaaaaaaaaay more than 60chars/line, and your eyes would get very cranky after a while with that much reading without a line-break. I think it would be awesome sauce, though, for playing a show while you're working out, or the like.
And the HD? Breathtaking, I'll give them that. Routs the hell out of a "retina display." Hard to fault it.
Anyway, back on topic: I'll check random pages, and see if it's just ET, or lucky. I suspect, Turt, that it's the benefits of ET. Amazon does many things, and some things it really spends time on, and the MOBI developments tend to be biggish,
when they occur.
