MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Should I use *soft hyphens to hyphenate large words

I will keep this in the back of my mind for now.

I wish the Kindle render tool would just handle this, but it doesn't.

Perhaps doing this for Kindle only wouldn't be so bad. Kindle is the only reader that really sells a lot of copies anyway and its the one I most care about looking professional.

The plugin looks nice, but I am not sure it does what I want. I want to only add hyphens to words 12 characters or larger and I only want to add one hyphen, not one for each syllable. In my novel, that would only be 550 words.

Thank you for your responses.
