Hyphenation and soft hyphens in e-readers

Hyphenation is a visual must. Giving the reader an ugly justified blocks of text to read is as cruel as having spelling mistakes. Being incapable of providing an algorithm working on the hardware (although it is not a rocket science) it is an unexplainable shame not to provide any correct visualisation of the embedded soft hyphens. There are many programs that can process a text as an input and produce a soft-hyphened text as an output. Nobody is going to do it manually - we are not in the stone age...
