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 (; .
I used a dictionary from Open Office. I had to use a non-Adobe dictionary because it's not allowed to be given out. As for size, I don't know the size limit or if there even is one.

To use hyphenation, you have to be using full justification. Hyphenation doesn't work with left justification. There's no way to change this.
