Arguments for auto-hyphenation in the book-readers is not an argument against properly functioning ­ tags.

Both should work. Particularly since properly functioning ­ tags are easier to implement, and demand much less processing power. It sometimes makes sense to offload the processing of hyphens from the hardware reader.

Besides, it's part of the (X)HTML spec. Meeting the spec should be a minimum goal of anyone building a reader, hardware or software.
