BookDesigner works great for me when I use it for cleaning up a file before making an FB2 book. I have just started with the OpenOffice FB2 plug-in, so I am not as proficient with it yet. I almost always start with the HTML output of MobiPocket Creator when I do a PDF to anything conversion.

I may have just been lucky, but I have not run into much of a problem with extraneous hyphens. It should be easy enough to remove hard coded hyphens with Book Designer or OpenOffice?

If the hyphens are hard coded in the file, then turning off hyphenation in CoolReader will have no effect on hard coded hyphens. Turning off hyphenation in CoolReader only disables the automatic generation of hyphens.
