I realize that Amazon is also adding desirable features to their new FW releases. But at the same time, they also make it prohibitively difficult to enhance them. So it's your choice in the end - go with a new firmware, or stay with an old one that JBPatch supports.
I 2nd that 100%.
Hyphenation IS the killer feature (german here as well) and 5.3.4 does what it's supposed to do. So I'll definitely stay with 5.3.4 until Amazon/Lab126 learns how to write a proper FW. I absolutely can't understand why hyphenation isn't implemented in the FW anyway. It is effin essential for a smooth reading experience.
