Nope, I leave Kobo interface option in off and more over I always edit my epubs adding {text-align:justify} if they happen to be without full justification (I hate left alignment...).

Good hint!!!

I've searched a bit and CSS3 has hyphens property: Here you have an example link to its explanation.

I'll test ASAP if it works within epubs (I'm not currently at home). Epubs are CSS2 but I feel that there won't probably be any trouble adding some kind of CSS3 properties...

More over I'm reading this thread Loading a custom CSS on kepub opening where there's a lot of interesting info. And also about your driver for Calibre and how it can automatically add CSS styles to the uploaded epubs.

I feel I'm on the right track. And more over I also have a feeling that the white-space:nowrap; issue is also going to be fixed when hyphenation is disabled (I mean I feel that epub render is considering dashes as wraping points because hyphenation is active, even with greater priority than the span style setting).

I'll post my conclusions ASAP.
