I've used Hyphen Beta. It has indeed some improvement building on top of its previous public released version 1.1. Apparently, this developer learns from other similar apps like MapleRead and Marvin, and suggestions posted to other threads.
However, I'm still not impressed by the latest beta version 1.2 (27) of Hyphen despite the incremental improvement. My strong preference is still MapleRead. I can see that some of my favorite MapleRead features have already been cloned by Hyphen. There is nothing wrong of that per se. Competitors always learn from each other.
For me, I actually don't like sync with iCloud. Sync with Dropbox (a private server considered by odamizu) is a much better option than iCloud for me. The fact that Hyphen and Marvin solely rely sync on iCloud is something I don't like.
Having said that, sync is not my first priority. Otherwise, iBooks, which must be the first ereader app that has iCloud sync, would have won over me long time ago.
