This is a common error of Kindle authors that leads to desperate forum posts and viral complaints based on nothing but not being aware of Kindle guidelines. "Where did all those extra hyphens come from?!!!!" They're soft hyphens, that's all.

First, thanks--you beat me to it, (there are days I want to SCREAM about the endless soft-hyphen discussions) and second--that's also caused in large part by people who don't know how to clean up Review marks. Happens near-daily.
