have they sneaked in hyphenation to the native book reader app.
I am reading the tube riders vol 1 - a £zero amazon kindle "purchase" - seeing lots of hyphens at line ends. they are not hard coded because if I rotate the fire to landscape view then I see different words hyphenated. I have never seen this in a mobi/azw on kindle fire before and I see nothing in read options to control whether I get it or not. I don't much care for having it forced on me.
I had always believed that kindle did not/could not "do" hyphenation but this is a counter example ?
( same book in K for PC flows with no hyphens)

could others check & report back. it could be just this one book but I can't figure how in-book code could control this ?
I have KF HDX 9.7 latst upgrade.
(PS if I convert the book to epub and try another app, it flows just like any other book, which suggest it is an OS/kindle app change not something in the book )
