its either that only a few of us are getting this ridiculous error, or everyone else doesn't care about it... its been mentioned on this thread but no one has commented on it...
ex: "Ad nauseam is a Latin term used to describe somet-
hing unpleasurable which has continued "to [the point of] nausea". Fo-
r example, the sentence, "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam", signi-
fies that the topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that thos-
e involved in the discussion have grown tired of it."
I for one cannot read books like this, and I cannot think of another example of any writing that uses this kind of behaviour... Browers? nope... real books? nope... news papers? nope... firmware 1.9.17? nope...
Why hasn't kobo heard of word wrap? Also it doesnt matter what the justifcation is, and they looked fine on 1.9.17...
2nd question:
factory reset and loaded 1.9.17... calibre loads epubs but when ejected kobo doesnt process content and says i need to set up the kobo before adding books, but if i set it up with kobo desktop it updates to 2.0.0!!
the epubs are in the file structure of the kobo, but not showing in library...
Am I missing something?

Maybe it varies from epub to epub? The book I'm reading has a handful of hyphenated words on each page, but they're all done properly at syllable breaks. I have not encountered any instances of words being arbitrarily hyphenated.
Right now I'm reading
The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne, downloaded from
here, and looking at the first several pages of chapter 13, I find the following hyphenated words:
ter-rible
af-ter
op-portunity
is-land
al-ready
ac-complished
So I can say that hyphenation seems to be working fine for me, at least with this particular epub.
