Thanks, Kovid.

Related question: apparently the Kindle does not hyphenate either. For this reason I get a very jaggy right margin, in particular in langauages with long words (e.g. German).

I was thinking: since Calibre can hyphenate (at least in principle), could it put soft-hyphens into the text upon conversion to .mobi (or any other format, for that matter) that would be hopefully honored by the reader used (Kindle in my case)? At least as an option?

That would be another great added value for many readers (even if it might increase the file size).

Thanxx for considering this (if at all doable).
