I fixed up one of their eBooks. It's not compatible with older software and ADE/RMSDK. There is no reason to make eBooks that don't work. Besides, if anyone needs an ePub 3 for accessibility, there is the advanced version that can be used. The "compatible" version is not compatible with Kobo, Sony, B&N, Pocketbook, and any other software/Reader that uses RMSDK. So why alienate so many people? Why waste your time and effort to make eBooks that don't work?

The only sensible decision to make on the basis of that poll would be to not hard-code any justification, but allow the reader to choose. Doing otherwise, as you wish to do, will force an unwanted choice on almost half the readers.

You are still forcing justification on the user. You would be forcing the default and some software does not allow the user to change the justification. So you really do have to pick one or the other and given that more people like full justification and Kobo does not hyphenate with left justification, the only logical choice is full justification.
