JSWolf, thanks so much for the information and files. I'm trying to learn about the process of creating hyphenation dictionaries, would you mind answering a few questions?

First off, which dictionary (dictionaries?) is the "JSWolfHyphenUS-EN.zip" dict based on? It doesn't seem to be the Adobe dict, and the LibreOffice one I've downloaded is much smaller (my presumption: less entries equals worse hyphenation).

Did you encounter a max filesize for hyphenantion dictionaries? I've found a German dictionary file that looks very comprehensive, but is 1.04 MB in size. I wonder if it'll still be usable on the Kobo.

As far as I can tell, hyphenation for EPUBs only works if the "justified" setting on the Kobo is active. Do you know if that's correct, and if there's a way to force hyphenation when "justified" isn't active?

I have an Aura H2o which has been running on 3.19.5613 for a long time, just updated it to 4.5.9587 a few hours ago.

There'll be probably more questions as I learn about this stuff, TIA for helping (; .
