I am having a problem with my Kindle Voyage. I've only noticed this problem since they updated the software.

On my side-loaded books and personal documents, when there is a leading smart quote followed by either a capital letter "C" or a capital letter "K," there is a space of perhaps three letters between the leading smart quote and the C or K. I can't reproduce smart quotes here, but it looks like this: [imagine that my " is a leading smart quote.]

" Could I possibly go to the store today?" I could not go. " Katherine, please let me go to the store!"

This appears in every instance where there is a leading smart quote and a capital C or K. It even appears on my personal documents. If I open the document with Calibre edit-book, it looks normal. If I read on my Nook, it appears normal. If I read it in Calibre it appears normal. It happens both at the beginning of a sentence and also within a sentence.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?
