Preference for Full Justification, How to?
In using beta 0.6 version, in converting from txt to mobi, how do I format for full justification? I see no option for this in the Preferences.

Mobipocket software lets the reader choose ragged right or full justification, provided it isn't forced in the HTML. So such an option isn't needed.

Thanks for your response, but I'm not certain I understand what, if anything, I can do. I'm converting Gutenberg txt to Mobi, but the justification comes out ragged right, as you put it. In which software or application, if not Calibre, do I make a choice for full justification?

In the Look & Feel section there is an option to control text justification. (In the current beta it is greyed out for conversion to MOBI, but that will be changed in the next beta).

Unfortunately, as far as I know, the Kindle renderer doesn't allow you to do this and since the Kindle is pretty much the only major MOBI reading platform left...

There is the Gen3 and the iRex 1000DR as well as the Kindle line. But the Gen3 I think is moving to ePub.

The only justification option that I can see in the Look & Feel section is for "No text justification." Is that what you're referring to? Otherwise, I see no "greyed out" matter.

Yes make sure no text justification is unchecked. And as for converting txt files, txt files are not left justified, so converting tem to MOBI (in the next beta and provided you have no text justification unchecked) should result in a justified MOBI file

Thanks. That's good news (assuming you mean that I'll be able to achieve FULL Mobi justification in the next beta). I'll just wait (eagerly) and convert my latest Gurenberg txt files then. Thanks again for the great work -- and product.

I downloaded and installed the new beta today and conversion to the Mobipocket format from Gutenberg txt files gratifyingly provides full justification automatically. Many thanks.
