perhaps we can all agree:
1, if Amazon add a feature like this that alters the reading experience, they shoudl announce it, not sneak it in
2. it should come with an on-off setting in reader preferences
I too would like to know how it has been done, my suspicion is that it is something in the kindlegen or whatever software that preps the books for final publication, combined with something in OS 4.5.3.it seems to be outwith at least one upset author's control , & my peeking at code in two of the affected books has not produced any new clues.
{ tube riders has a minimal css file - see below- just size and margin; and long in-line style declarations in every p tag. but nothing that mentions hyphenation }
Code:
css
@page Section1 {
size: 595.25pt 841.85pt;
margin: 99.25pt 85.05pt 85.05pt;
}
div.Section1 {
page: Section1;
}
inline
<p style="margin:0.00% 0.00%; text-indent:1.5em; text-align:justify; widows:0; orphans:0"><span style=" font-size:1.0rem">‘Dan!’ Paul shouted.</span></p>
if it were only an OS change I should see it in my older books, but I don't. it may even be that 4.5.3. is a red herring, we need a tester whose device has not yet upgraded.
I think we will find that it is device independent as more folks report in.
AFAIK the stores download the same book to all AZW capable devices, and I would also assume that .uk and .com stores serve up identical files
