"What I'd Prefer for the Safari 5 Reader"

"What I'd Prefer for the Safari 5 Reader":

Concept by Justin Stahl.

I have to agree, the justified text kick that Apple is bent on right now is seems as one-sided as their Flash vs. HTML5 rhetoric. I honestly don't get why a simple option isn't available to allow the user to switch between justified and flush-left text, especially in iBooks.

WirelessIris: Follow Focus for Your DSLR via iPhone or iPad:
