Oh, my! I'm glad the problem's been fixed. As a reader, that would be very irritating.
UPDATE: I received a reply from Amazon KDP this morning (below). I just sent them everything they asked for, so we'll see what happens.

I understand your concern about default auto hyphenation, mostly seen on Kindle Fire devices.
I can confirm that this is not a new feature on the KDP publishing process, but could be a conversion error.
In order to help resolve this issue, we would like to have more information about what you're seeing, so we can further investigate.
Please write back with the titles or ASINs of the books that you see are displaying automatic hyphenation, if the issue is also present when previewing the books, and if possible include a screenshot of what you're seeing, so we can resolve this as soon as possible.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience.

I asked if other KDP authors have reported the same problems I'm having: (1) auto-hyphenation, (2) bolder title/chapter fonts, (3) bolder body font, and (4) smaller graphics than before.
I'll wait until I hear back from them before putting more effort into attempts to fix my e-books. If anyone has suggestions regarding HTML/CSS, I'll certainly consider them.
