Ah, understood. I'll keep an eye out for that in the future.

This is one of the things I adjust when I patch my ereaders. My preference is to set both values to 3.
I may have been unlucky, but the first page I loaded after enabling hyphenation had 3 on it which stood out to me (as I don't actively recall seeing hyphenation on my ePubs, though that may be because I'm engrossed in my reading )

Regarding the kerning/ligatures and justification/spacing issues, I wonder if KOReader handles them any better? (Not sure what the advantages of heading down that path would be, however)
