I learn something new every day.
Sony did not hyphenate until the T3 which was not sold in the US and was the last Reader Sony sold. The 505 did not even do full justification with ePub because of the 1.7.2 version RMDSK used. Sony never did upgrade the 505's RMDSK.

Amazon does not hyphenate yet. The firmware for the PW3 that hyphenates has not yet been released to the public. The reviews that show hyphenation are running a beta firmware.

Kobo does hyphenate and all of the other new typesetting that the PW3 will eventually do.

The nook does hyphenate but it over does it.

Other Readers that run RMDSK should hyphenate as long as the version of RMDSK is a new enough version. But I cannot tell you which other brands do hyphenate.
