I can, easily, download the book to my pc, import it in calibre and hypenate-this!, but if I do so, the azw3 changes its name when it is imported and even if I export it and rename the exported azw3 with the same name the amazon version has... somehow it is not recognized by amazon as the same book, so no whispersync no nothing.
Did you find a way to overcome this?
I'm sorry. Actually I don't know how to solve this. Since I just switched to Kindle (after they introduced the Voyage) I haven't bought any ebook on Amazon so far. Maybe you could send the hyphenized book as a mobi file (kf8) to your Kindle by mail? Of course, then the device would consider it beeing a 'document' instead of a 'book'.

But besides of that I wonder if ebooks bought at Amazon are not already hyphenized?! I really would expect that, if their reading devices need this to present a hyphened view of the text.
