I installed the JSWolfHyphenUS-EN file from post #1 on my Aura running 3.19.5761. Now my Kobo just doesn't hyphenate at all.
I went to .kobo/dict and I don't see a hyphen dictionary at all. Just dicthtml and the five language variants (de, es, fr, it, pt). Did something go wrong? Am I missing something, maybe? Would it be possible to just take the hyphen dictionary file and drop it in the dict folder? All my books are kepub and I've read that hyphenation doesn't work as well there as ePub. But now it just isn't working at all. (I'm not likely to switch from kepub to ePub as I rely on the 'page per chapter count' which, if I remember correctly, does not work with ePub). |

@ZodWallop,
I think you're confusing 2 different types of 'dictionary'. Type 1: Dictionaries where you look up the meaning of words, e.g. dicthtml.zip, are stored on your Kobo in directory .kobo\dict. These can be drag-dropped into place via USB. Type 2: Hyphenation dictionaries, e.g. hyph_en.dic, are not stored in a directory which is directly user-accessible via USB. Consequently you have to install them in a similar way to sideloading a new firmware, namely: - package them up in a KoboRoot.tgz file, - connect via USB, - copy tgz to the .kobo directory - safely disconnect USB and let the Kobo process the .tgz file. This will put the hyphenation dictionaries into the correct inaccessible directory (which is \usr\local\Kobo\hyphenDicts). If you haven't already, you need to unzip JSWolf's attachment and extract the KoboRoot.tgz file and apply as per Type 2 above. |

Then I got to wondering if, perhaps, getting a copy of, say, hyph_en.dic and dropping it in the kobo/dict file might solve my problem. Last edited by ZodWallop; 12-14-2016 at 04:16 PM. |

However, to be safe I will go over my settings when I get home to make sure something didn't inadvertently get changed and I'll report back. Last edited by ZodWallop; 12-14-2016 at 05:01 PM. |

Here are a few more avenues you could explore. For one of your books which isn't hyphenating check the following:

Hey guys, I checked the Kobo TouchExtended driver and the hyphentate files box was not checked. I checked it. Pulled my current book of, added it back and opened it. It is now hyphenated!
Now my question is: Is there any way to refresh all the books currently loaded on the Kobo aside from yanking them all off and adding them all back? |

Incidentally, in the Kobo TouchExtended settings, there was the box to hyphenate files and then there was a separate box to remove hyphenation. There may be good and valid reasons to have two seemingly contradictory boxes. But it is a confusing UI choice. At the very least, it might be a good idea to place both boxes side by side. |

If it was up to me, I would have hyphenation be the default and you have to turn it off specifically to disable hyphens.

Another issue is the stupid setting in the Kobo supplied hyphenation dictionary. The left and right numbers are set to 5. This is why I posted the one I did because it uses realistic numbers for left and right. Both are set to 2 and that works so much better. Plus this hyphenation dictionary I can give away.
