Nope, in Calibre, it displays as a black vertical bar.

Actually, I use nonbreaking hyphens all the time in my manuscripts (to keep -- dashes from breaking), and need to remember to convert them back at the end.

Could the conversion to epub be made to convert these to regular hyphens? Either the LRF conversion does that already, or the viewer handles it. (I haven't tried in on the Reader yet.)
