This was one of my main complaints also. While people have been nitpicking things that don't even bother me, this was an issue I noticed from the moment I tried to use a messenger or email. I've been told even Apple devices allow you to completely disable this annoying feature.
The only workaround you have is this: when you type in a word that's not in the dictionary, look above the keyboard to see if you're going to be auto-corrected. If so, simply touch and hold on the word you had typed in (which will be the very first one from the left) and it will be saved for future use.
Have fun doing this for every term you use though, it's a headache. i.e. "lol" gets forced into "lil", "haha" gets forced into "hagsh", etc. I guess Amazon didn't take into account that most of us regular people use at least some slang when online.
