If you need a font size that's large enough to give you too many lines that have wide gaps, then you do need a new setup. That size font would look awful left-justified and look awful justified. So you do need a program or Reader that hyphenates so you don't have as many gaps and won't n3ed to left-justify.

It's one reason why I don't read a lot of on my phone, even though it's a 5.5" screen. It's too small and I'd have to make the font very small to get enough words on a line. My tablet is 16:10 and that makes a world of difference in my eyes. The problem I have with ragged right is similar to why I can't read that screenshot. I can't see the paragraphs. You have two ways to seperate parts in a chapter: newline and whitespace. They both have a different function. The newline is a minor break, the whitespace is a larger break. And the newline is only visible if you have a justified text (as that sentence will almost never (there are always exceptions!) hug the right margin. |

I was going to say. Doesn't matter what size screen I am reading on, my eyes don't change. The size font I use doesn't change from my kindle to my phone. I can't suddenly make it smaller and still see the letters. I don't read on my phone very much, I am probably a step below your font. At least for now. I used to be #3 on kindles, I am now #4. So I expect that to continue going down hill for me.
Checking on my Oasis, I can to go #6 and not have those spaces in between the words. So I have a bit of time to go before I have to worry about that. At #7, things are not justified anymore. Its just ragged on my Oasis. So they don't even try at that point. |

So I guess you hate reading posts on MobileRead? It's left justified. |

Although I do agree with you on sometimes the sizes on kindles are a bit in between. There was a time I wanted something between 3 and 4. Now I am pretty much needing 4 so its perfect. But there might come a time I would need a step between 4 and 5. Maybe by then there will be more font steps. |

Posts with one or two paragraphs are fine, but those longer ones are usually skipped by me. I just can't read them. My eyes will go all over the place and I'll only see words, not sentences.

You could get one of the Android E-ink tablets/readers (whatever you want to call them) and install Moon+ on that.
