Hi;
I don't think that's off-topic at all -- I never even thought about how hyphenation might be better/worse depending on your reading language. Thanks for awakening me to that!
I read most of my ebooks using "fbreader" software, which works on both my rooted Nook (running Android) and my Nokia 770, and it features very good hyphenation for English language books, so I never think about hyphenation as an issue. But I've read printed publications (mostly newspapers and magazines) where somebody split a word badly when using hyphenation and yeah it grabs my eye and just stops the flow.
Interesting points!
