Another thing to do is change the KePub hyphenation settings. In the KoboTouch driver configuration, select the Hyphenation tab. Set...
Minimum word length to 4.
Minimum characters before hyphens to 2
Minimum characters after hyphens to 2
Maximum consecutive hyphenated lines to 5.

This may give you more hyphenated lines for less space.

There are two options that may help. One is to apply the patch to reduce the space between words in KePub. I don't know if that will work in the current color firmware. The other option is to install the font ChareInk6SP. That has a reduced size space so that again will help to reduce the gap sizes. Here is where you can download ChareInk6SP. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184056
Just option 1 worked good enough for me. It's good to know of the second option too, thanks!

8.4 with the justification optimized provides the same output as the old Kobo Extended + Calibre 7 now, AFAICT
