No. I loath it - I find it interrupts the flow of the text. I also seem to remember being taught back in school to never, ever, ever ever hyphenate words at a line break, and it's certainly something I've never seen in a printed book/novel.

And on that note, how did all you typography enthusiasts manage when all we had was paper books - I mean, not only a fixed font, but a fixed size as well!

In all seriousness, there are other things that need 'fixing' far more urgently in eBooks than any typographic niceties - probably not that long a list, but Geographic restrictions and DRM are right there at the top, IMHO...

Cheers, Pete.
