As far as I can tell there is NO way to shut off auto-hyphenate.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Have you tried this ebook in any other app? Usually over-hyphenation is the book, not the reader app. If the book was once scanned with optical character recognition and dumped into a PDF, hyphens would get inserted at the ends of lines. When that text is converted to epub and reflowed, the hyphens are still there but not at the ends of lines anymore. Mantano would then insert hyphens when it splits a word between lines, plus you'd have all the old hyphens in the middle of lines, so it would look like a mess of hyphens.
What you can do is manually edit the book or find a better copy.
