Other example, allemaal (all) it must be broken as alle-maal but it breaks as all-emaal. That are 2 examples on one page.
Other: glimlachte (smile) the right way is glim-lachte but it breaks as gliml-achte and there are literally 100 examples in one book, while on epub format there is no hyphenation.
Is there a way to put hyphenation in kepubs off, it is just unreadable. Tried it with 4 kepubs but there isn't one page okay.
For example, the main role is a inspector called Opperdoes, the right ways are Opper-does or Op-perdoes, but it brakes with Opperd-oes. It is totally wrong with all Dutch kepubs, please tell me there is a way to put hyphenation off, it is Terrific! Tried 4 kepubs, not converted but I had to delete them and convert them to epub, is it patchable? Dutch dictionary is installed, but it is in some pages at least 8 times wrong.
On 2 Glo HD devices on 3.15,it is unusable!

I have two questions about this:
- Does it happen with kepub only? Or also with regular epubs?
- Are the proper hyphenation files installed? In your case hyphenation for the Dutch language (Open Taal)? Is the hyphenation file converted from "ISO8859-1" to UTF-8 w/o BOM?
I'm still on fw 3.12 and installed the hyphenation files for Dutch (because the Kobo files didn't work, see the
bug report thread for the details; this issue might be fixed with fw 3.15).

This tells me that the Kobo provided hyphenation file still doesn't work. The Abobe epub renderer ignores it (no hyphenation). The kepub renderer is guessing (random hyphenation of words; very likely not based on Dutch hyphenation rules, with horrible results).
You need to patch the firmware with the fixed hyphenation files.
I don't have those hyphenation issues most words are correctly hyphenated. It is not perfect; it is a automated process. The accuracy is about 80-90%.
Note: I only read regular epubs not kepubs.
Code:
LEFTHYPHENMIN 2
RIGHTHYPHENMIN 3
These settings work fairly well.
IMHO, the default "5" hyphenates too few words.
