My eyes do have some defects which is why I wear glasses.
Here is the thing, if you want a device to do something then it is best to buy a device that will do it without someone having to rework it. Oh and I had never noticed the lack of hyphenation on a kindle. I did notice some weird hyphenation on the kobo.

I mean I wouldn't buy a toaster to make coffee or a coffee maker for eggs.
Note: I do think there is a small appliance that will do all three.
With a Kindle, you do need to have the eBook you get from Amazon to be converted to KFX to enable hyphenation, kerning, & ligatures. Not all eBooks have been converted. But, with a Kobo, you get hyphenation, kerning, & ligatures (if the font used supports kerning & ligatures) right out of the box using plain ePub. No need to do anything special with the ePub.

As for hyphenation weirdness, I've never see anything odd. I use ePub and not kepub. The only oddness I've read about has been with Dutch, but that might be due to problems with the hyphenation dictionary.
