You still don't get kerning and ligatures that you get with KFX format but at least there is the hyphenation.
Thumbnail covers are more important to me Followed by book format. Although I did get used to the horrendous word spacing on mobi, it did bother me a bit.

I'm neutral on hyphens. But I prefer them over large irregular word spaces.
