Most of the books on word processing that I've seen, have all suggested against using hyphenation of any kind, especially in a non-WYSIWYG environment like an early word processor or an ePUB. They also suggest against using Full Justification, which is one of the reasons people end up needing hyphenation in the first place.

You just can't tell where the hyphen is going to end up if you can't tell where the line is going to break.
