The mystery continues... There's auto-hyphenation on the Fire HDX 8.9, too?

The book that's mentioned in the quoted post below, The Tube Riders (The Tube Riders Trilogy #1), is free right now, in case anyone wants to check it for auto-hyphenation and darker text. I do see both issues in that book on my Fire HD6, just like in my books.

From the Fire OS 4.5.3 Update thread. (My reply is in that thread here.)

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 )
