No. Slightly different.

Kobo overrides left/justified text with whatever the user chooses.

And it leaves centered/right text alone.

This is the way it should be done across all devices/readers... and it's completely baffling why Amazon/Kindle/others haven't done this.

I explained some of that in the famous "Footnoteception" thread back in 2018.

Good to hear. At least one okay thing is coming out of KFX. :P

This problem was only exacerbated last year because of THE VIRUS. They believed every surface was infected, so they left both receiving/returning loans an extra week in "quarantine".

Luckily, you still had online (such as Archive.org's Open Library) loaning out all these books, even when physical libraries were closed.
