Okay, I read this post thinking that there was a bit of exaggeration and then I started reading Dracula from BN just to see how bad it was. There are between 5-10 lines hyphenated on some pages. This is like 30-40% of the lines. Some pages have 4 hyphenated lines in a row which is pretty distracting.
The worst is the number of proper nouns (peoples names mostly) that it decides to stick hyphens in. "Ed-mund" for instance.. Obviously it's still possible to read the books, but this is a bit much. Does anyone have a way to turn this off without modification of the epub file (which for DRM'd books is an issue)?
