Where in the line does it change from smaller spacing to normal spacing?
The line that starts then blew gently.

It is possible right now. Modern e-ink readers have more memory and more powerful processors than PCs that happily ran LaTeX many, many years ago had.
Yet, here we are, 10 years later, happily flogging the same dead horse ;-)

These are two screen grabs showing the variable spacing I was talking about. One is KePub and the other is ePub. The KePub has the paragraph circled in red and the ePub in blue. You will see the one of the lines has smaller then normal spacing in ePub and in KePub, the line end in a hyphen because the spacing cannot be made smaller then normal.
The part in bold means that one of the lines has smaller spacing for a while, then it has normal spacing, so I asked:

As long as it's a readable font, avoids spacing issues, avoids text-image overlaps, and avoids having to jump back up due to standard-2-column-layout.

Left-justified can more reliably avoid spacing issues.

The entire line. All the spacing. As you see when you look at the one in KePub, the spaces are slightly larger for that line because Access does not reduce the size of the spaces.

I think you mean you can. Others' mileage may vary. I know it's hard for you to remember that everyone is not you, but you should still try.

Then why did you write:

(I've taken the liberty of inserting a comma for clarity.)
The meaning of those words is that the spacing changes within the line.

The ability to reduce the size of a space if something RMSDK can do but Access cannot do.
