Maybe there is a way to do this without patching but I dont know how. Could calibre or some other piece of software fix this before I put the novel inside the ebook ?
Thanks!

If you use left justification (aka ragged right), the distance between words should be constant. If you are using fully justified text, the spacing between words needs to vary to fill the line. There is nothing to be done about that since it is needed to keep the line length constant. In print, the spaces between words and letters are varied on a very fine grained basis (micro-justification) to make text look more even but that takes quite a bit of computing power and I am not aware of any renderers that micro-justify.
To force left justification, add text-align: left; to the body definition in the CSS stylesheet and remove any text-align: justify; entries from the rest of the stylesheets. To allow choosing in the Aa menu, do not add the text-align: left; entry.
