I haven't yet spent a lot of time with the Aura HD but I haven't seen a single hyphen in either official kepubs (I have some English ebooks which I have quickly browsed through) or "kepubized" epubs through KoboTouchExtended Calibre driver (where there's an explicit option to enable hyphens if you prefer).

I hate hyphens but I'm currently reading a Spanish book and because of the bug with dashes (you can go to the Bug Thread through the links in my first post), I still prefer epub renderer... but by a really small margin over kepub when I consider pros and cons of both options:
  • EPUB. Undesired: hyphens and white-space:nowrap bug. On the bright side: there's no header.
  • KEPUB. The extremely horrible dash bug although I have no hyphens and white-space:nowrap works as it should. And it also seems that the long paragraph bug is gone (this one was present in my PRS-650 too, so I suppose it's a fully Adobe issue).
I'm trying to remember what I did to stop it. All my books are sideloaded epubs (I don't use any other format), some of which started life as Kindle format, and I don't have any difficulty with unwanted hyphenation now. Unless I was lucky with my semi-random messing with settings, I must have found the answer on the internet (probably these forums), but I can't find it now. I'll keep looking.
