I've been reading your posts and this keeps prompting a "Huh?" from me. They even prompted me to pick up a book from the bookshelf to check. And, honestly, every line on all pages has different spacing between words. Just like my ereader does when the text is justified. The variation in the ereader is probably higher, but, I also tend to use a slightly larger font than most paperbacks. But, I don't see different spacing as I turn off the justification and go with ragged-right.

I prefer the weight of a paper book.
You mean physical weight? Really? The only physical aspect of paper books that I miss is being able to look at the thickness of the book to get an idea of how long it is and how much I have left to read. But, the ereaders handle this in other ways.

For the record, I'm one who does not care if ebook is displayed in the same way as a paperbook. And, I don't want them to be as the only advantage of doing that is familiarity. And there are major advantages to dropping attempt.
