I have 2 of those + the free sample of mulligan & can see nothing in the book code or CSS to account for this ( assuming that the calibre AZW editor uncompilies & gives a fair view of what is actually in there. )

and for amazon to say to the OP "yeah, we updated the device software & that's why", not " it must be something strange in your css "

OTOH , supporting your hypothesis is the fact that none of them hyphenate in Kindle for PC. Kindle Fire O/S did upgrade round about when this began, but I've seen nothing specific to say reader code updated also.

the mystery is still out there

Cyb:

Why do you think that a software alteration has to be across all the devices? Why not test one specific device, if you're thinking about implementing such a large change? I know, for example, that the Voyage handles images quite differently than all the other devices. That's device-specific. That means it has something different than the PPW.

Why not something similar for the Fire 6" O/S?
