Yes and no. If you use the Hyphenate This! plugin or Hyphenation under Polish, you add in soft hyphens and Kindles with KF8 do handle soft hyphen rather well to give hyphenation. You don't get Kerning or variable spaces (where spaces can be made smaller) with KF8.

KF8 is Amazon's walled garden and they even screw the publishers because when the publisers say no DRM, Amazon says screw you, we'll gve the Reader KFX with DRM and we'll tinker with KFX so every time you pick the lock, we'll insrall a new lock.
