Could somebody point me to a technical explaination of how the automatic hyphenation that amazon introduced a while ago works?
I understand it only works with ebooks that support it, so how is it automatic?
Does it rely on soft hyphens or something? But that was already possible. Maybe the last firmwares have better soft hyphen support?

I'd like to buy an ereader for my brother's birthday and I'm not sure between Kindle PW and Tolino Vision 3/4 HD.
You can't beat Amazon customer care, but Kindle's lack of choice when it comes to margins (large, extra large and ridiculously large), line height, font size, etc. really bothers me (I think I couldn't live without koreader on my PW). So if at least the hyphenation thing was solved...

TIA.
