This has not affected the way it appears on my k3kb or DXG so these are all I will read it on for now.
If the changes you see were noticeable in all Kindles, then I would assume the issue was with the book's CSS (cascading style sheet) used to set the formatting. Some publishers will use the CSS to set margins, bold text, etc. that might not be appropriate for a Kindle. But if it is only noticeable on the K4NT then it might be an issue with the 4.1 firmware. Amazon seems to be getting a bit sloppy with firmware issues, some of which are buggy.

I notice that the two Kindles which display the formatting the same as before are both non-KF8 compatible, so they will be displaying only mobi7. The K4NT is now KF8 compatible with 4.1.0, so the issue might well be with the KF8 version of the book, if it is in KF8 format. Dual formatted books can look different, sometimes much different, in mobi7 as opposed to KF8.
