Actually, I have found the Kindle 2's forcing full-justification annoying; at least the original Kindle had a hidden means to change it.

Since I reformat all my books to use left-justification, I wouldn't see any such change in 2.5.3.

I like fully-justified text for printed material, but given my preferred font size/line length on the Kindle (and the lack of hyphenation), I prefer the ragged margins to the rivers of white space that I often see in justified text.

Really, though, this should be something that the user can change to suit their own preference. (Not to mention that the Kindle should support hyphenation.)
