I don't have a PW2, so I can't really give a complete answer. Anyway, even the Kindle Touch's firmware already included basic support for hyphenation (for KF7 only), but didn't make use of it. I assume that it's something similar now for KF8, judging by xendula's reply.

Just because a hyphenation library is present somewhere doesn't mean that it's actually used. You need more than merely a basic library to do hyphenation correctly, most importantly: language-specific rules. And I don't find a trace of such rules anywhere in the PW2 firmware.
