Is hyphenation dependent on the file format? If so, which format(s) will support proper hyphenation for French and English?

Yes, it depends on the reader app which is rendering the format. Hanlins have 3 or 4 "readers" for different formats. The ePub/PDF one is mobile Adobe Digital Editions, which does not do hyphenation at all. The FB2 one is CoolReader, and I have heard others say that its hyphenation is weird. There may be a way to turn it off. Some Hanlin V3 firmwares include FBReader, which does excellent hyphenation.
Both FBReader and CoolReader are available in OpenInkPot (often for the same formats, so you choose whichever you like more for each format), which is a complete Open Source replacement for the standard V3 firmware (and hopefully soon for the V5 firmware). However, OpenInkPot does not support DRM.
