Thank you again for your feedback.

You don't want to hyphenate ePub. Most ePub rederers (such as ADE/RMDSK) will not properly display the hyphens and if ou need to make changes to the ePub, the hyphens will get in the way. Also searching breaks with the hyphens.

What you should do is after you've finished with the ePub and converted to KF8, you can use the Hyphenate This! plugin for Calibre to hyphenate the KF8 and then you can load the hyphenated KF8 onto your Kindle and it will work and the ePub is still good to go if for any reason you need or want it.
