Does the Aura support hyphenation for sideloaded plain .epub eBooks?

This picture shows the reading progress popup for Kobo epub (kepub) books on my Glo, I guess the Aura will be the same or better. Sideloaded epubs don't have the popup, but show the percentage below it.
Is there any way to get side loaded books to show "minutes left" in chapter/book?

Thanks for that info, GeoffR. That's a really sharp display! I'm assuming that the only way to have kepubs is to buy them from Kobo? Or is there a way in Calibre to trick the reader into thinking a side loaded ePub is a kepub?

Looking at the photos is very interesting. Kobo have made some nice changes to the interface. The home screen looks good and if those tiles are updating to show what you last did, that will be good.

I like the library list. An option to not have the covers shown is a good idea. And being able to add a shelf from it is good. The shelf management seems to have sorting options as well.

One thing I can't see is all the sort options. There is Author, Title and Recently read. The other devices also have File Type and File Size, hopefully they are there as well. Is there anything else?

Having seen the photo's, I'm not sure if I'm going to thank Mostly Math. They are just feeding my desire for an Aura HD. But the budget and SWMBO say no. Well, the latter said "You already have two!" Hopefully these changes will come to the other devices soon.

But, as a developer, surely she can see how you'd need one for research purposes.

When they turn up here, I'll have a look at them. I love the higher resolution, but I'm not sure about the extra size. If it seems OK, maybe she will inherit the Glo.

In Italy according to this the Aura should be available to order from next Thursday, so there we'll see at least one price in Euro.
