With regard to languages with long words, Dutch is a "nice" example. We stick everything together, so "computer programmer" becomes "computerprogrammeur", and "bicycle store owner" will become "fietsenwinkeleigenaar". Dutch eBooks often look... jumbled.... because of this. I don't expect the Kindle too actually have Dutch hyphenation rules. Heck, it doesn't even have a Dutch user interface. |
It works exactly the same in german - "Computerprogrammierer" and "Fahrradladenbesitzer", or if you want a longer version "Fahrradladeneigentümer"

But the problem will resolve itself, as many Dutch are so influenced by English that they spell words seperately, which in Dutch often changes their meaning, sometimes drastically so. It's actually called the English Disease.

Yeah, same here, with the exact same problems. It hurts my eyes every single time.
