You still don't get kerning and ligatures that you get with KFX format but at least there is the hyphenation.
One man's bread is another's poison and so on. I detest hyphenation and disable it on my Kobos. Fortunately I use small enough font (plus custom margins on my Oasis, smaller than the default ones), so huge spaces between words aren't that common for me. On a Kobo you can also adjust word spacing in the configuration file.
