Android: unreadable (needs end-of-line hyphenation) #158

Hello! Glad to see an Android app. I've enjoyed the Windows app for some time and just paid for it.

I just discovered the Android app, too. And my primary feedback is that it needs end-of-line hyphenation. I switched the justification from full justification to left, because my phone screen is too narrow for full justification to look good. It ends up putting only two or three words on a line, in some cases, with very large spaces between the words. It's not a problem specific to Aquile--the same thing happens in Kindle for instance. It's just the nature of what full justification is; I understand that.

However, switching to left justification doesn't solve the issue--it doesn't fit any more words on the line. It looks just as weird, just in a different way.

Aquile needs end-of-line hyphenation so that more words can fit on a single line when justifying left, like the Kindle app.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks for a good ebook app.

Sure! Here is the same page of a book, first in Kindle left justified with end-of-line hyphenation, and then in Aquile Reader for comparison, first full justified, then left justified.
