I'm attaching a picture of a recent book I read that shows the issue. It's not the worst example I've seen, but it does show the problem.

If you are reading on a Kobo, then problem the settings in the hyphenation dictionary are set to left/right of 5 meaning you need a rather long word to be hyphenated. Try the following English hyphenation dictionary at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=252405 and se ehow you get on.
