I agree entirely with the previous post. If you want to control hyphenation for a personal document on a specific device for your own use, that's one thing. Have at it. But I wouldn't recommend trying to force something that should be a user/device preference. For one thing, you have no way of knowing where "problematic" lines might create unwanted whitespace when you don't know what fonts/fontsizes readers are using.
