My only question is whether they're doing something special in the Fire HD6's firmware, like enabling automatic hyphenation unless it is explicitly disabled. The reason I'm curious is that I know for a fact that Kindle for OS X crashes if you enable automatic hyphenation in a KF8 book. It not only won't let you open the book, but also won't let you
delete the book without an instant crash. So if KDP is adding it on ingest, then every book they import from now on is going to cause their buggy Mac reader to turn into an almost literal Kindle fire....
Edit: Apparently, I don't know that for a fact anymore. Some time since I sent a bug report to Amazon on 12/29, Amazon released an updated version of Kindle for Mac. I don't know if they fixed the crash or not yet; I'm downloading it now. I hope so, because if so, I'm reenabling automatic hyphenation and resubmitting three books tonight.
