Does Kindle automatically Justify text?
Hello peeps,
Have received gift of a new Kindle Paperwhite, and a flash drive with a load of EPUBs on. Have been reading posts (not on here) from people saying that the displayed text will be Justify by default, with no option on the Kindle itself to change this. I'd prefer to read in left-aligned format. As such, is there a straightforward .css template that I could link to the EPUB files, or is there an easier way of doing it? Thanks in advance. |

As long as the epub file's css doesn't specifically tag the text as "justified" you can turn on left align in the font settings ('Aa', then under 'Layout,' you'll see 'Alignment').

I like hyphenated text, but I'd also like the hyphenation to be disabled when I choose the option to align the text to the left... Come on, Amazon, it's not that difficult!

Is that where the alignment options can be chosen? |

You can't copy and paste epubs to your Kindle in any case. Kindles can't read epubs, they must be converted to a Kindle-compatible format first.
