Have you tried
-webkit-hyphens on the actual device? Because it
does work in Kindle Previewer, and I would
hope that they used the same version of GTK WebKit....
Worst case scenario, you can insert soft hyphens (
& shy;). IIRC, Kindlegen strips them out on the way to Mobi7, and if you combine them with
hyphens: manual; and appropriate
-webkit- and
-epub- variants, the reader should break if necessary at that point even if the Fire uses an older version of GTK WebKit that doesn't have true auto-hyphenation support.
Incidentally, WebKit itself doesn't support the hyphens selector, last I checked. It supports only the
-webkit-hyphens vendor-prefixed variant. So even if/when unaided auto-hyphenation works on a Kindle, you'll probably never see that vendor-prefixed property in Amazon's officially supported property list....

Last I checked, Kindle for iOS didn't even support KF8 except fixed-layout, so I doubt it supports hyphenation usefully.
