1. Page turning of epubs are snappier than 3.12.1
2. Hyphenation are now correct (in french, and i updated the hypen dic to the Libre Office one) even when there is trailing punctuation which is not the case with kepub.

But :

3. I can't deactivate hyphenation anymore (typically when I choose Justify : deactivated in the in-book option)
4. I can't justify to left only anymore (same menu, second option)

If the book is justify left (I convert it with Calibre), hyphenation is not working and in-book option to justify left and right (and activate hyphenation) doesn't work. And I'm sure I could do all I can't do now in 3.12.1.

On the whole, running epub seems better (to me) since the justify left and right + correct hyphenation is closer to the paper book experience.
How have you set the alignment in the book. If you set the text alignment in the book at the paragraph level, changing the alignment on the reader doesn't change anything. If it is set in the body, the device will override it. Personally, I strip the alignment except where it is important.

For hyphenation, I usually don't see it. I usually use ragged-right, so there is minimal hyphenation. When I do set the alignment to justify, or read a book that has it set, the hyphenation seems to be OK.

I have just checked the above with epub. A quick test of kepub seems to show that the device will override all the alignment.
