This must have come up before, but a search didn't provide any answers.

On my 7" Fire tablet from '15 and the 8" from '16 none of the browsers I have installed (Chrome, Firefox, Puffin, Dolphin, Opera Mini, UC, and others I've forgotten) as well as the native Fire browser, Silk, reflow the text when a page is enlarged via a stretch gesture. The text never wraps. It looks to me like it must be a problem with the Android or Fire OS, not the browsers. The Fires are presently on 5.3.3. When they were on earlier versions, they had the same problem.

Has anyone been able to make the text wrap when enlarging a page on these devices? If not, why hasn't this significant shortcoming been addressed by Amazon?
