(EDIT: I notice that this is what Jerseyman first suggested (post 6) )
Hmmm different strokes for different folks, I guess. When dealing with full justification, you are the first person I've heard of that prefers playing with the interword/intercharacter spacing over hyphenation. ( In c r eas e d spa c in g dri ves me batty  ) |
Then why do you use full justification? (Your example of increased spacing was incorrect anyway.)
I prefer left-aligned text and I STILL get hyphens on a Nook Simple Touch (EDIT: That is until a started using Peter Sorotokin's suggestion of {adobe-hyphenate: none}; but that only works for non-DRMed ebooks). End-of-line hyphens drive me crazy as does breaking a hyphenated word on the hyphen.
Had I known that the NOOK Simple Touch auto hyphenates, I wouldn't have bought it.
