Convert to EPUB, and have a look at the actual character, quickest way would be to use the calibre book-editor and have a look via the Tools->Reports->Characters.

Maybe the font or the reader you're using doesn't support the what you think is a hyphen - if they're not regular hyphens you can 'fix them up' in the editor and convert the EPUB to MOBI.

Well in the Calibre EPUB editor the hyphens are still missing from the text. When I ran the character report it said there were 83 instances of "HYPHEN-MINUS" however when I started looking through them, they were all just in the markup tags (e.g. encoding='utf-8')

Thanks for your help. Since the conversion was so consistent about removing the hyphens for only mobi and epub files I thought maybe there was just a setting I couldn't find.

I think it's best if I just read this through the PDF.
