Yes, I'd say move it to the EPUB (or Workshop) section.

Can you describe some of your ideas?

Which language? Which words? It's like we're pulling teeth here! The more you can share, the easier it'll be to tackle your specific issues.

And there's the root cause of a lot of this. Soft hyphen detection is key.
So many of the crappy PDF->something apps just treat all "line-ending hyphens" as "hard hyphens", so they'll appear in the EPUB. And as you can see, that produces THOUSANDS of them that you'll have to correct.
In the case of Finereader, it narrows it down to a handful.
