The English hyphenation dictionaries have very conservative settings, only words of at least 10 letters are considered for hyphenation which results in some very large gaps when using full justification. To change the settings you need to edit the hyphenation dictionary and reinstall it manually.

The remaining problems with hyphenation are not really related to the dictionaries, but are caused by faults in the readers. (The epub reader doesn't hyphenate the first line of a paragraph if it has an indent, the kepub reader hyphenates the word in the wrong place if it has trailing punctuation, and both readers incorrectly include trailing punctuation when calculating whether the word is long enough to hyphenate.)
