It is not a user error. It's a bug or other issue.
I have noticed this problem many times with other books. The text-alignment settings (for example: 'text-align:center') are not respected when one of the Justifications Options in the Reading Menu is used to override the default css value.

Justication Options in the Reading Menu:
off: no issues (text will be aligned to the left in most cases; the default publisher setting)
left: all text is aligned to the left
on: text will be justified but (css defined) centered text will be aligned to the left.

This problem occurs when the default alignment option in the css is set to left. Left is what most publishers set as the default.
When the justification override option is used text will be displayed as justified but (css defined) centered text will be displayed to the left.

IMHO the easiest fix is to edit the css and change the default text alignment (global, for all body elements) from 'text-align: left' to 'text-align: justify' and
leave the Justification Options in the Reading Menu set to off.


When you enable the justification options in the reading menu
left: all text will be aligned to the left
justify: all text will be aligned as justified (no change) but centered text will be aligned to the left.

In short, the Justifiction Option in the Reading Menu doesn't work properly because it doesn't respect centered text alignment.
Centered text should be rendered as centered regardless if justification override in the Reading Menu is set as off, left or justified.
