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.
Adding space between letters of a word is a bug. Spaces should only be added between words. Hyphenation should help so I too suggest turning on hyphenation like it or not. If you want full justify with no hyphenation, you'll have to use ePub because of the bug in rendering KePub.
