Quite a few think one of the great features of the Kindle 1 is that you can turn full justification off (unless the stupid publisher locked in justification in the file .... don't do that, leave it to the reader software), so that the small screen doesn't have huge gaps between words - which is one thing that makes it harder for poor readers to comprehend, it turns out, plus looks extra ugly if you use a very large font, as well as makes it more difficult for those with poor eyesight that need that large font (different line lengths help them keep their place).
Unfortunately, this is just one of the many features removed by Amazon in their dumbing down of each successive generation of their hardware (it's like they are removing functions because they don't want to take calls about them: hey, we got 3% calls last week on how to change justification, so let's remove that feature and reduce our call center cost... 10% were people that couldn't remember how to get out of sleep mode after they changed their screensavers, so let's remove the option and force everyone to stare at dead white people they grew to hate during high school literature class....).
