AND,
which choices won't override what the USER wants it to be. I know of no device that would not allow the user to justify the text, should s/he want, if the justification is not set (alignment/justification). But I know of plenty that won't allow you to override, if the justification is set to ragged-right (align:left) or centered or....you-name-it.
If you use align:left in a Kindle ebook,
it ABSOLUTELY forces me to use RR. On the very latest generation of Paperwhite. I've returned books for it before and I would
continue to do so. It irks me.
I'm far from the only one. Not saying that everything has to be my way or the highway, but if you want to be egalitarian, why force your choice on the reader, when the alternative is easier, in fact?
