I don't think so. The problem is Kobo is trying to lay out all the text in a nice justified block for you, but due to the length of words, breaking the sentence isn't easy. Especially if you are telling it never to break a word when it breaks the sentence. Not using hyphenation is making the problem worse, not better.

The reader is trying to display multiple lines of text all with different amount of characters and is trying to make them line up. So it has to insert different amounts of space between words and sometimes between characters.

Try this. Open a page where the word has spaces like you saw. In the font menu, change alignment from justify to ragged right. I bet the problem will go away.
