However, the narrower screen isn't an problem with the Kindle reader, since it stops trying to justify text when the line length gets too short to do it well.

Have you considered using it in the Landscape mode?
Perhaps we should move the discussion about Yotaphone tips and tricks to another thread, somewhere in the Android Devices subforum

I have ordered one as well and I am doing research in advance.
There is lots of info on the xda-developers site, including links to the official firmware updater and newest firmware versions. There are also discussions about relative merits of various firmware versions - KiteKat vs. Lollipop, special apps and other goodies.
You do not have to use the build-in app for reading the books, you can also use your favorite Android app and switch on display mirroring. But when you do that, you should modify a config file telling Yotaphone to switch on 16shades graphics instead of default B/W for mirroring mode for that particular app.
16 shade mode has refresh frequency 2Hz and B/W has 8Hz
