Is it all kepubs or just some?

Here are a few more avenues you could explore. For one of your books which isn't hyphenating check the following:
  • Check your HTML files for code like xml:lang="languagecode". The language code needs to be valid. I mention this one specifically because it recently took me far too long to figure out that one of my books wasn't hyphenating because it was riddled with xml:lang="eng" code which should have been xml:lang="en".
  • Check your value for Language in the calibre library metadata. Whatever value you have there needs to be valid and should be written to the OPF file (<dc:language>languagecode</dc:language>) during KoboTouchExtended send-to-device. I don't useit myself but the KoboTouchExtended driver has an option to 'Replace Content Language Code'. I'm not really sure exactly what code changes this option makes.
  • Have you configured the KoboTouchExtended driver to enable hyphenation?
  • Does your CSS file contain occurrences of -webkit-hyphens:none in inappropriate places?
  • On the Kobo device font menu have you set it to left justify? By default I don't think hyphenation works on left-justified text.
