The KEPUB and EPUB readers use the same hyphenation dictionaries, but they use different hyphenation algorithms, so the results are not exactly the same. The KEPUB hyphenation has improved in firmware 3.16.0, but the EPUB hyphenation is still a lot better.

I use text alignment left, in epub that never causes hyphenation or it is so good that I never seen it, in kepub it is always wrong, until 3.16 it is been cut off at places where it never supposed to be, in 3.16 it cut's off while there is still enough room to cut it off further,or it cut's off while there are only 2 or 3 characters left so in that case it looks a lot better to transfer the whole word to the next line,and very overdone/overreacted fills the right side of the book full with hyphenated words..
Language is set on Dutch and in all the times I edit my books I have never seen any restriction for hyphenation in the stylesheet.
I edit my books most of the time because I hate the text ident at every new alinea and the "stredged" lines so text alignment is set to left where it is centered.
I also cut off any page margins where they are not needed.
(It is the same when you buy a hardcover book while the text on the page fit on a paperback, leaving one inch white on all sides of a page...)
To much books are all so hard coded in the css to look like the paper format,overrruling all the sliders you have on the reader to do it yourself..
I don't know if there is a hyphenation dictionary for Dutch language is included in the Kobo firmwares.
