It is possible to put hyphenation marks into words in the html code. These would then be the place that a device would choose to split the word if needed. But, I don't know if either reader on the Kobo device supports this.

Did you set the "text-align" property in the CSS of your book? Commercial books tend to use "justify" for this. That will result in more hyphenation than if you leave it as the default of "left".
