Yes, the large type book was micro-justified as you could see some lines where the space between characters was increased as well as the space between words. Unless I was looking for it, it didn't really kick me in the eye and the flush left and right margins were aesthetically satisfying.

Then I set my Forma to justified and the difference was very noticeable. Partly that my Forma has a narrower page so fewer characters on the line even in landscape mode but also that justification on the Forma, as far as I can tell, only uses increased space between words to justify which, to me, is extremely annoying. A "Rivers 'R Us" page is a pain to read.
Are you reading ePub or KePub? RMSDK does use variable width spaces whereas KePub does not.
