I’ll take left justified all day long… when my eye gets to the end of the line it automatically goes to the next line. There is no concern about any “wasted space”. If you are a person who likes hyphenated words , and has a device that presents them well (in your reading language) that space is non existent anyway.

There also isn’t any “premium” or “professional” look to a justified text like there used to be when typographers had to manually set the type to fill the whole line … it’s just a css setting, or click of a setting, now. The only “value” to justified text is to differentiate a section from the surrounding text. eg. A snippet of a magazine article embedded in the story.
I've found that since using ChareInk6SP instead of ChareInk, I have a lot less hyphens and the rivers of space in justified text is not an issue. The SP version has a smaller space.
