Yes, I've seen the 'mad hyphens' with the iOS app, though I no longer use my iPod Touch and its 3.5" screen, where I used to see such things. Obviously that is automatic hyphenation done wrong (and perhaps some artifact of webkit that Amazon did not intend). But presumably that is not what Amazon is working on (it requires very little work to do bad hyphenation). And I have looked at several of the texts cited on this thread on my Fire HD6 and the hyphenation I've seen in them looks good to me.
