    I've been looking into this problem lately without finding any solution.

    Liz Castro mentioned somewhere, that Webkit might be able to solve the problem, but I have no idea how.

    Does anyone here have a solution?

    Your time is appriciated.

    Liz' Webkit-based solution only and specifically works for iBooks on the iPad.

    I'd rather steer clear from forcing this, because 'hyphenation' is a user preference in iBooks' settings, so the reader can decide for him/herself what they prefer.

    Liz Castro's post on turning off hyphenation in iBooks is here: https://www.pigsgourdsandwikis……n-and.html

    Liz's says to do the following:

    To suppress hyphenation, you can use the

    -webkit-hyphens

    property (Thanks, Rick!) just on your header elements:

    h1, h2, h3 {-webkit-hyphens:none;}

    Keep in mind iBooks is the only eReader that currently supports Webkit properties at this time I believe. You may want to create a separate ePUB for iBooks are at least test how heads display in other readers if you apply this fix.
