When I buy a book I always make a private copy in epub and in mobi. When I do use my Kindle, occasionally, I'll usually read my private mobi format. I normally send it to my library on Amazon before I begin so I can download it and sync it (I do have Amazon's permission to do this) and I read it. I can't recall ever feeling like it was a pain to read. They're just fine.
Yes I do prefer only left justification and I get both edges justified with mobi. Who cares! I read paperbacks for about 50 years with both edges justified. It just ain't no big deal.
My retirement home has 16 units and the one down the street (part of the same group) has another 16. Of the 32 people living in this place I have one of the 3 computers and only one of the others has an internet connection. None of the people with the other computers would be willing to learn Calibre. They think Solitaire is a major leap!
Among these people are about a dozen Kindles, besides mine. And there are other people living nearby with Kindles. I bought most of them for them and about half of them are Kindle 3's and Kindle 4's and need mobi. If Amazon stops supporting them most will have to revert to paperbacks. This is a Hud supported place and most of the people here are so far below the poverty level that they just know it's up there somewhere.
But you want purity! I want my neighbors who love to read to be able to read their books!
