I have seen one of the most terrible design choices just now. I downloaded Silkworm as an epub3 from Kobo. Book was very well designed at first look. But I realized something after changing some pages, spacing between words were very uneven, there were no hyphenations.

It turned out the publisher had hyphenations disabled from the css. Why? Oh, God why! How could anyone ever have a reason to do this?
