Even in the best of times, this is one of the big things in LaTeX based typesetting that doesn't work well without human intervention.
But I grant you, progress is certainly possible. I'm just not convinced the best that can be achieved via this methodology is going to make me any less regretful that I am not reading a PDF customized for my device and font-size preference.

But if we has LaTex hyphenation support and kerning, that sample that Harry posted would look better. It would look less computerish. I know the only way to get proper hyphens is with a dictionary, but I think the LaTex way will be good enough.
