This may be a bit hasty. I have a feeling my Kobo may be displaying them in a sideloaded standard epub.

However, in theory, the Kobo does support hyphenation and so I would expect to see some hyphenation even without the plugin. My initial gut-feel was that with the plugin it looked as if there may be more soft-hyphens per screen than usual. I've no idea how good/bad the Kobo English hyphenation dictionary is.

I need to try the same epub with/without the plugin additions to confirm this.

Edit: Seems like my gut-feel was correct this time. There is definitely more soft hyphenation visible on a Kobo with a standard epub (I don't know about kepubs) when this Hyphenation plugin is used. See attached pics - sorry for wonky camerawork

Left - Kobo displaying the original epub.
Right - Kobo displaying same epub (same font, same font-size, same margins) after using this plugin to add soft hyphens.


My conclusions: Plugin not really suitable for Sony PRSx50/PRS-T1 users but for Kobo users, who read in a language not well-supported by Kobo's own hyphenation dictionaries, this plugin should offer a workable alternative.
