Well, maybe a LITTLE more words per line, but not much. I make the font size big enough to read while leaning back in my chair, and I re-size the ADE window to be tall and narrow so it fits in the preview pane of Microsoft Outlook (management approves passing the time while we wait for queries to finish, but they encourage a don't-ask-don't-tell/don't-be-obvious policy with it ).

But I'm not saying you anti-justification-without-hyphenation people are crazy; you certainly have a point. I'll agree with HarryT and say a device should offer both.
