The LRF books I've purchased from Sony are generally formatted pretty well and are quite readable as is (which is good since you can't reformat them if you want).

That said, I prefer to purchase my books in ePub format. About half have been formatted well and I've left alone. The other half I've decrypted, then edited the stylesheets to add better margins, adjust the type size and line spacing, eliminate blank lines after paragraphs, etc. In doing this, I've found a couple that actually have fonts included in the archive, but that aren't properly referenced in the stylesheet. Once those were linked back up, the book looked much better.

As for the non-justification in ePub, I personally prefer it. I deal with layout and text daily, and I'd much rather have ragged right text with proper character and word spacing than unhyphenated fully justified blocks of text with erratic word spacing and huge gaping rivers flowing through them. But that's just me.
