If I saw that, it would take me out of the story more than the gaps would.

Ah, thank you for that ! That's interesting : I'm French, and while when speaking english I would definitely pronounce that "mem'ry", when reading my eyes are expecting hyphens based on a french "me-mo-ry".

A couple more examples like this I came across while reading were "alarm-ing", "usu-ally" or "Riv-iera". Do they all seem correct to you ?

I do use this, both the french and english one (thank you for those ).
I was just under the impression that Kepubs were not actually tanking into account the left and right length constraints specified in the dictionary itself.

It may have been the book I was reading, tho. Maybe something around the language metadata not being correct.
