I didn't word that well!

I meant no wireless support for having library ebooks delivered. You can, certainly, use a PC to transfer books ... but, this is 2026 and not everyone has a PC. Even if someone does have a PC, it's an extra step most prefer to avoid. Wireless library book delivery is something Kindle, Kobo, and Pocketbook offer.

Insofar as hyphenation goes, Jon, your signature suggests that you do not currently own a 7.8" or 8" screen device.

While lack of hyphenation will cause rivers at larger font sizes on 6-7" screens, on a screen close to 8", it's not quite as terrible as you imagine it to be. That extra screen real estate does make a difference!

Also, if one does use larger font sizes and doesn't want justification rivers, there's always left-alignment, which Nook does offer.
