I appeal to all owners of readers (e-book readers). Does your device support hyphenation in books? If yes, what model do you have?
I'm used to the fact that in analog books the text is justified in width, and the words are hyphenated by syllables according to the hyphenation rules. It looks very aesthetically pleasing and allows you to fit more information on one page. I recently bought a reader (Sony PRS-350) and found that the text in it is also justified in width, but does not wrap syllables at all. I would like to know if this is a problem only for a specific model or all readers have such a drawback.

No, not everyone. At least PocketBook Pro 602 has transfers.
The roots of the problem, I think, grow from the fact that in English typography, hyphens are much less accepted than in ours (probably because the words are shorter - ergo, there are more spaces per line - ergo, really align the set without word hyphens).

I have lBook v5. There are transfers, and the language from which the transfer rules are used is indicated in the settings.
The fb2 file is open in the screenshot, the transfer rules are set for the Russian language.

The Kindle 3 does not have hyphenation by default. If you put a jailbreak on top of FBReader, then transfers will appear in the FB2 format. This will void the warranty.

In Kindle 3, the latter is definitely not, at least out of the box and without dancing with a tambourine

FBreader transfers words, and therefore nook using the fb reader too (naturally, only for books in fb format)
I'm going to order a nook color, I think it will also transfer, for the same reason :)
