Oh, and you need to have the correct language in calibre's book metadata, but it is already there 99% of the time in my experience. The only downside is that if you need to edit the book in calibre (I do, when I find typos etc) you need to dehypenate it first, or calibre search won't work. I find this acceptable, in exchange for a much better reading experience.
The only thing that really bothers me is that I can't, this way, read a book directly from the Amazon cloud, you need to download it to your hd first... But that is the same in your reading workflow that uses ragged right... :-\

I convert every single ebook I get (regardless of format) so I can include transformations that are absolutely necessary: ragged right, font size uniformity, removing spacing between paragraphs/lines, fixing tiny indentations, straight → curly quotes, and so on.
If hyphenation were part of the conversion process I'd add it without a second thought, but as it is, I would need two sweeps to convert books. I rather like being able to make all sorts of transformations (including custom CSS) with a single operation.
But it may just turn out to be useful enough that I'm willing to do it.
