But at least, it's worth asking the question because there are many use cases where it could be a big plus:
- for foreign language users like Germans, French, but presumably these users don't use an English language forum.
- for all users which use small screen devices or bigger than average font-size. These are simple maths. The lack of hyphenation is felt stronger on a five inches device than on a six inches one. Or, if you have rather use a bigger font-size, then of course the "holes" between words will be bigger.
It seems that Amazon agrees with this view since they added it in their new KFX file format. So, I am amazingly politically correct on this point.
I would have been curious to test it on a KFX book (it's just a matter of a few dollars), but I am too afraid to leave the "airplane mode" and get an unwanted update which could destroy any -small- possibility I may have to install later the 5.6.5 jailbreak for which I am longing for.
But surely there may have been people who read some KFX books and can report about it? Some screenshots would be appreciated. I provided some of them coming from Koreader (EPUB and six inches PDF) so people could compare. |
As I said earlier, I am one of those who use a bigger than average font size at times, and even on my Kobo with hyphenation enabled I end up with large spaces between words sometimes. I've attached a photo for reference.
