I had
text-align:justify; only in the mobi-specific CSS for main paragraphs.
I know that the older Kindles justify by default. The
only reason I specified full justification in mobi paragraph CSS was because I prefer the Look Inside to be fully justified. It did accomplish that. If I don't include it in the mobi CSS, my Look Insides have all ragged-right lines.
I removed it at KDP's request, since specifying full justification for body/main paragraphs goes against their official guidelines. I may put it back in at some point because I'd like my Look Inside text to have a smooth right margin, like almost every other e-book.
I'm still uploading new files in attempts to figure out why my e-books have auto-hyphenation on Fire HD6 in recently uploaded versions. They didn't in the past. No luck so far, but I'm not ready to give up yet. I have't heard back from KDP in the last few days but they have assured me they're still investigating.
It's clear to me that the auto-hyphenation is introduced in later stages of publication. The mobi I download directly from KDP is fine on my Fire HD6. What I don't know is whether there's something specific in my CSS/HTML/NCX/OPF that triggers this or if it's a more widespread glitch within the KDP process. I upload either epub or Kindlegen-created mobi files, but I've seen the same auto-hyphen problem in e-books by other authors who uploaded Word files. They may have had hyphenation in their source file, though.
