Also the author hasn't turned on hyphenation. It's a "rule" that when you justify text you should use hyphenation. If not, the spacing between words will be very uneven as can be seen in the text.

The author should try adding language to the HTML tag (`<html lang=en-US>`) and setting `hyphens: auto` in CSS. Still hyphenation in browser is of a lower quality than you will find in a book with good typesetting.

I played around with the page and, to me, left-aligned text looks much better than justified text.
