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.

Yes...turning on ragged-right (left aligned) for an ebook will get rid of the awful spacing issues. The reason this argument is happening is because some people are saying that having your book formatted as left aligned makes it impossible to read, and we should just suck it up because that's how print books always were, and we didn't have a choice then, and oh by the way, their way is the ONLY way to format a book and read.
I'm attaching a picture of a recent book I read that shows the issue. It's not the worst example I've seen, but it does show the problem.
