I know that some people do. I'm older and old-school; I prefer justification over ragged right. Especially in eReaders; it seems almost invariably that when I encounter RR on Amazon it's dreadful and the books that I get from other sources are not much better. Given my druthers, justified.
If I want to admire the beautiful appearance of a book, I sit down in my library and read, feel and smell a paper book with leather cover and gold cut.
With a reader I am not interested in beautiful formatting at all. I want to record the text as effectively as possible and in the flow of readings I am hampered by the unevenly long spaces caused by the justification format.
In a well-set paper book, this does not happen, the letter width is also varied, which is not possible with the fonts in an ebook.
