One thing I noticed is that all the english hyphens dict that I could find were much longer than french ones. So maybe the english ones are more complete, I don't know.
Here are some things you can try: - Increase the minimum number of characters before and after hyphens, so that the system only hyphens long words that would lead to visibly stretched lines.
- Activate landscape mode. You'll get longer lines, and the kobo won't need to stetch spaces as much.
- Try using an alternate reader like Koreader or Plato.

Yet another example of how justified
sucks fails.
You didn't include my favorite solution which is to "fix" the CSS and change it to ragged-right instead of justified; i.e., text-align:left instead of text-align:justified. For the Kobo you can just delete all text-align:justified (i.e., no need for text-align:left, but leave the ones that are right and center) and then you can select either ragged right or justified in the Kobo's font menu.
