Thank you for your experience. I mentioned in my original post that I run every single EPUB through conversion with Calibre before sending them to the NC. This is because I want to standardize font sizes, set full justification, and make sure they don't have inch wide margins that cram the text into a three-inch box in the middle of the screen so I am not using the default settings.

You mentioned that you did not have any hyphenated words on an EPUB you downloaded but did not convert, was this from the B&N store or an outside source? The screenshot I posted earlier was from a book I downloaded from B&N and had the publisher's defaults set on for, so it was a completely untouched book exactly the way it was meant to be seen and it had hyphenation. I ask because the "body" code that was posted earlier fixes the problem I had when added to an EPUB file, but manually inserting that line into all the books in my library will be a pain and if there is something that could make it easier I'd love to know.
