I find myself wanting to check the source to see if the hyphen is supposed to be there !
Kindles don't hyphenate, neither did Sony T2 & older models, but when I briefly had a Sony T3, the bad hyphenation was driving me nuts until I found this css for disabling it. So I've used it ever since.

Maybe Kobo hyphenates quite well, but I'm happier without. I think the kobo android app has a hyphens on/off toggle, ( or maybe that's only the mantano app ), but not the kobo e-reader, so I turn it off in the book & it's fixed for wherever I read.

same with widows / orphans which fool me into thinking chapter end coming up - oh maybe not.....

I strip all line height CSS entries also, as they interfere with device controls, but that has to be a manual edit. I never did find a one-line fits all extra css override
