With ‘auto' enabled, the renderer should select preferably soft or hard hyphens when they are present but it can cut whenever it wants according its algorithm (which is the guilty one here), so the error you got.

To summarize, the steps to get correct hyphens on kepubs with this method are :

0. adding kobo_extra.css at the root of the device
1. removing mention of -webkit-hyphens in the book’s css
2. justifying left and right in the book’s css (text-align:justify; )
3. hyphenate this ! book
4. sending the book via KoboTouchExtended plugin with custom css checked and options to add hyphens unchecked.
5. disable justification in the aA menu of the book
6. reading the book cover to cover

I should add that there is no problem with hyphenation in epubs anymore (since 3.16.0). If you find working on your books time-consuming, you could just read epubs
I have to say: this fixed the incorrect dutch hyphenation completely.

Now I just bought an e-book from the kobo store, directly on my Glo HD and because I am not able to process it like above, it is full of hyphenation errors.

Please Kobo, fix Dutch hyphenation, because as proved above, it can be fixed!
