I think, that one of the reasons that people like it, is that for short paragraphs at least, you can absorb the whole paragraph in one go. And for ragged-right formatting, it probably makes it clearer where the paragraph ends. I don't have a way to prove any of this, but, it feels that way when I do read a book formatted that way.

One reason I don't like left justify is that it's buggy on Kobo because it doesn't hyphenate and that can lead to noticeably shorter lines.

Of course, the most important thing is that my wife prefers the the space between paragraphs. It doesn't matter to her much, but, when I suggested that I could show her how to "fix" them, she said no. This has a lot more impact on me than your constant rants (and yes, they are both "constant" and "rants").

I don't think it bothers my wife ether way. She reads mostly eBooks I put on her Reader for her. She's never said she wants it with paragraph spaces.
