Define "small window." I very much prefer justification, with Enhanced Typesetting functions (hyphenation kerning, tracking, etc.) on my eInk Paperwhites. I really hate ragged-right.

Small window is always 'my reader'. If it looks crap in what I have, then I go for something that doesn't, ie unjustified. I think on Kobo you can justify it if it comes unjustified, can't you?
On 'my reader', I see 'Alignment' is 'Not Available'. Are you saying that's because I specified it as align-left? But if I specified it as justified maybe they won't be able to change it to unjustified either. I don't know. All I can do is make what I think is the right aesthetic decision. And, as you say, few change their settings so if I supplied justified then some may hate it as much as I do because it isn't accomplished properly in the device.
Overall of course I prefer justified. Back when I did handset letterpress I would spend hours justifying lead type text
by hand, and I must admit I spend just as long on H&J violations in InDesign these days.
In my view, there is nothing uglier than badly justified text.
