So the problem is the ebook, and since it is from the Sony store it should definitely not include soft hyphens.
Thanks a bunch for this bit of information. I looked up this soft hyphen issue you mentioned and it looks like that is indeed the case. Now I can actually do a bit of research about the problem and hopefully find a means of getting it corrected.
