At first I blamed the .dic files I had aquired so I spent days making my own, but errors of the same kind were still made.
Now before spending more time trying to fix this I would like to know: is it even possible to get correct hyphenation on Kobo. I looked in an English book that's on my Kobo and it seems to have correct hyphenations (I did find one possible error: untrac-table instead of untract-able, but I am not sure about that one) which indicates that it might indeed be possible.
What's the current consensus on this subject?

Been there, done that. Eventually gave up. While I could find dictionaries that made things slightly better, I kept getting distracted by every hyphenation mistake. So I just disabled it entirely.
Problem was even worse in French, since words tend to be longer than English ones, thus leading more frequent hyphens. Don't know about swedish, but it could have a similar issue.
Turned out that justified text with no hyphenation is good enough unless you have a very big font size. I find to occasional overstretched line to be less annoying that wrong hyphens.
Also, if you want to avoid hyphens and over-stretched spaces, one solution is to set you device in Landscape mode (it can be enable through a firmware patch, easy enough).
