These companies with entire floors of buildings full of developers...why do they write such awful software? Don't get me started...)

When I tried Moon Reader some years back I thought it was ok—but egad, the bookshelf/organizing tools were awful. The one I was truly happy with was Mantano Reader—what a powerhouse for notes and annotations and bookshelf organizing, and their display "engine" was excellent. Being able to add your own fonts was a huge plus—the book weight of Minion was a great addition. Unfortunately, Mantano's alignment controls could not overcome publishers' hard-coded CSS. That program had great promise...but alas it seemed to just dry up and blow away. All development seemed to stop quite suddenly. Too bad.
I like Moon Reader Pro overall. It has a reputation for its bugs with the justification/alignment feature, but it usually worked well for my uses. It also looks good on eInk. KOReader is good, but lacks the justification settings you're looking for.

I remember Mantano. I tried it and liked it back in the day, but didn't stay with it.

Librera offers the justification/alignment options you're looking for. As I've never tried them, I can't say if they're any good. I find its menus cluttered and unintuitive, though, and never used it very much. On the plus side, the devs are very responsive to suggestions/input.

I've had Onyx devices for several years. NeoReader has greatly improved over that time. Their customer service seems more responsive than they used to be. They may be open to a suggestion that justification settings be added. NeoReader is best with pdfs, though it is quite good with other formats. It used to be that it was the exception when I used NeoReader. Now it's the exception when I don't!
