Oh, it's not THAT bad. I occasionally read ePubs in AdobeDE for Windows on a my work PC (on really slow days) and the justification without hyphenation has never bothered me. In fact, I didn't even notice it was different from the justification in paper books until I learned that Adobe ePub didn't support hyphenation yet.
