As DNSB said, printed books, like epubs, do word spacing noticeably better than kepubs. While kepubs aren't quite as bad as the sample in that article, they're not as good as epubs OR printed books in this regard, especially if you disable hyphenation. (I know, your next comment will be about me throwing a paper book against the wall when seeing an occasional hyphen - while not strictly true, I do dislike them and in ebooks I can finally disable them.)

Things look better on a larger screen and with the word spacing patch for kepubs enabled, but still not quite on the level of epubs. There just are a couple of things epubs are better at and word spacing is one of them. As I said earlier, if you read left-aligned or hyphenated text, you may not notice.
