Interesting topic. I also did wonder what causes some discrepancies regarding hyphenations in various readers and devices. In Kindle and in Pocketbooks default readers Hyphenations work in fairly the same way, they are rarely utilised, and often leave plenty of space in lines. Koreader on Pocketbook fares a lot better, though. It helps that it also has various font setting, like kerning and spacing, that allow higher degree of text tweaking.

I've Indesign in my package, but my knowledge of it is extremely limited. How would one go at converting reflowable book into fixed pdf with these microadjusted hyphenations in mind?
