I very much like this plugin. Just to report my (Kindle Keyboard) results .

Does work on the K3.4 :

Maybe the Kobo relies on seeing a &shy entity only and wrongly ignores the Unicode for soft hyphens.

I think it would be more constructive to ask Adobe to implement soft hyphens into ADE. BTW I'll install and check it!


Soft hyphens are a part of the standard. Implementing or not implementing a specific feature is a eReader design choice (or bug!).

Totally. Coding for the standard rather than for a specific reader seems the best approach to me.

Searching does not work in the soft-hyphenated version.
Does work fine on the K3.4. Even dictionary entries PopUp properly:
