FBReader writes hyphen after each word

I have Calibre installed, I just prefer the lighter simpler FBReader. The general consensus seems to be heading in the direction of  "stop carping and put up with the hyphens or learn to love Calibre, " so that's what I'll do. I know it makes sense.
Thanks again everyone.

Calibre isn't that difficult, it is a bit "bloated" with lots of options cause it's not only an ebook reader  but you can edit and create them with it too but I don't think that's a bad thing.

Here's a quick & short HOWTO to get you started:
1. Click on menu and search for calibre, click on it or hit enter to launch it, on the first run you'll se a window like this

2. Do your changes as needed in language and/or the location for the library, or if you're fine with the defaults just click next.  In the next window you can set the type of device to use

3. Change it if you need to or click next if defaults are fine for you. The last window will give you the chance to visit some useful links, click on one of those if you're interested, otherwise just click on finish

4. On calibre's main window click on Add books and choose one the options from the drop-down menu, usually choosing the add from directories and sub-directories is enough, unless you need otherwise this is the safest and easiest way.

5. A new window will pop up for you to tell calibre where your ebooks are in your pc so it can add them to its library and be available the next time you open calibre, so you only have to do this once, unlike fb reader where you have to look for them each and every single time you launch it, oh yes, I used it too and stopped using because of this very annoying (un)feature, by the way, Fbreader's android version is little bit better. Also, if you see the below window just click yes and procced; navigate to the location of your ebooks library/collection, select the containing folder and click OK to add them to calibre.

6. Now that calibre's library is completely set up, you can choose whatever ebook from it and to start reading it, click on View from the menu and select one of the options available, usually selecting view with calibre e-book viewer is enough, but if you need/want to try something else is up to you, i.e,  you could click on View and select Read a random book

7. Calibre's option will be added to the right-click context menu, so from now on you can select a file that calibre supports; pdf, epub, mobi, azw3 and open it by selecting open with >> e-book viewer
Hope this helps! Smile
