    Would it 'read' better if I changed my justified text to align left (to avoid possible white rivers between text and awkward hypenation) for ePub readers?

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Hi Eden,
    I personally don’t like justified text in an ePub. Because there are NO hyphenation at all! So in many cases your text is forced to create holes.
    And there’s another thing. Even if you set your text via CSS to left align, not every reader will interpret this. E. g. the iPad/eBooks makes problems. Steve wants you to read justified text. But you can go and change this behavior under settings-eBooks on the iPad. But I guess only few users know about this ‘feature’ ;-).

    Update:

    Recently Apple offered an update for iBooks – now ePubs are hyphenated. I didn't check in detail the quality yet, but that gives Edens question a new spin.
