Quality hyphenation should be possible in the Epub standard at least, by inserting soft hyphens character: 0xAD or the entity * Not sure if it works on my sony reader.

The Apache project has an XML hypenhation engine based on the TeX-engine which has some quality hyphenhation pattern files for many languages. Since EPub is XML, I guess it should be possible to run it through such a tool prior to publishing.
