I agree that it is better to have automatic mechanism for hyphenation, but it would have to be different for different languages and on top of that exeption lists would have to be created for many ebooks.
CSS3 is another option, but let me know how many browsers uses CSS3 let alone ebook reading devices.
So it seems to be much easier to implement correct displaying soft hyphens than any other option. Yet problem exists.
I will try soft hyphens on my Cybook and let you know about results.
