JSWolf explains how + goes into more detail in this thread:

Kobo Reader > "Better Hyphenation"

Kobo's hyphenation dictionaries use LibreOffice's hyphenation format + a few different lines in the beginning.

(And LibreOffice's is a few minor differences from the raw TeX/Hyphenation.org ones.)

This inserts tons of soft hyphens throughout your text.

But there are many disadvantages to this. )
I was thinking of just that one word, not generally for every word. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch. I'd normally never add hyphens unless the words are compound and normally have hard hyphens.

But will an ordinary customer of an ebook have other than the stock dictionaries or even know how to add them?
That's why all my ereaders used for testing are "stock" except I have the DXG set to have the book cover as a sleep screen.
