I'm trying to format a long paper of mine for the kindle. The following works, but there's a problem.
\usepackage[paperwidth=9cm, paperheight=11.5cm, top=0.1cm, left=0.1cm, right=0.1cm, bottom=0.1cm]{geometry}
Sometimes if a line break is needed in the middle of a word and LaTeX doesn't like the break locations (i.e., it would cause underfull box rather than overfull), it doesn't bother with a hyphen or word wrap. This makes some words run right off the edge of the screen.
How can I convince LaTeX to wrap there and have an underfull line rather than having words run right off the edge of the page? That later seems quite a lot worse to me.
I'd rather not have to hand tune each line, since the usual format is a regular page, not a kindle page — this is just for proofreading on the road.

Try adding
\sloppy
at the beginning of your document. This sets the value of\tolerance
, which TeX uses as part of its linebreaking and hypehenation rules, to 9999. This will allow really 'bad' breaks, from a TeX point of view, but may solve your particular problem.
