No it is not, IMPO. I agree with DD, if I (as reader) don't have control over hyphenation, then I sure wouldn't like the designer of the ebook forcing stuff down my throat. I happen to like hyphenation - if the book is not in KFX then I can add the hyphens myself to the KF8 file. For those that don't want hyphenation, they can D/L the KF8 version and sideload that and not use the KFX version.
It is bad enough that some books slip through that are still delivered with forced left justification for body text.
I don't like the special snowflake books that insist it is fun to mess with the style of the body text. Please leave it at the default. Chapter headings, section breaks, and such? Sure get creative and mix it up. For full body text all you do is aggravate those that just want to read.
