i don't think the comparison is that valid really - in a paper book you also have no option to change the font, or the font size, either, but adding that realistic "feature" to an e-reader would not be progress, any more so than is adding forced, mechanised hyphenation which is not to everyone's taste.
I fear I'll have to resort to some complex workflow of download to K for PC drm strip ,edit CSS, sideload back to device... palaver, assuming that changes to CSS can/will override firmware, which is not a given.
perhaps if enough people return enough books because of enforced hyphenation, amazon will eventually get the message !

Yes, I hope that Amazon will listen.
