I always wanted a statue of my likeness. It's SO odd that I've had this problem starting this last week. I've read about that being an issue for years. I guess I've just been lucky.

I agree. If Amazon's going to allow auto-hyphenated text, it needs to be a reader-selectable option.

As I've said before, I don't mind auto-hyphenation IF it's done well. I really don't like when it breaks words incorrectly, though. It's a distraction that briefly takes me out of the story, especially since I'm not used to it.

You should be able to edit and sideload. My pre-publication mobi files made with Kindlegen do not have hyphenation when sideloaded to my Fire HD6. I've never edited an azw file, though, so I may not know what I'm talking about.
