Because they are font-independent.

When a book is hyphenated hardly, the hyphenation signs will be at the needed places only for the font size chosen during the text pre-parsing (let's say "S"). But as soon as one changes the font size (let's say by "M"), these symbols will fly in an unpredictable way.

The simplest way to avoid this is to hyphenate a book softly. A reader supported soft hyphens (AD) shows the hyphenation signs at the needed places independently on the font (newer mind S, M, or L size is chosen in Sony Reader - the hyphens will be always positioned correctly).
