update on the 2 column thing - I messaged amazon Cs who did not understand the question and said you need to talk to us- so I did that & finally managed to explain the question. but all the lady could do was offer to pass it on to the dev teams as feedback. She did say that different devices get different versions of the software even though the version number may match , that does not mean same software. and as for the new HD 10 it was" don't know." she did say she will try to find out but i expect I will find out first, by trying it when it arrives

Kindle for android, the tiny bottom margin annoys me and there is no way to widen it, otherwise it's pretty good. But accepting the extra hassle of converting and then using moon+ pro suits me better, as it give much finer margin and line height controls.
i had to tweak moon+ to look good for 2 column landscape on the 8 ( a straight restore of my larger tablet settings did not look great, as the ppi is different ).

if its some kindle unlimited freebie that I may well abandon after a few pages, I am not going to convert it, but anything i seriously want to read, I will get it into epub, and polish it to how i like my books to look. Sp long as my old version of Kindle for PC does not get zapped, I still know how to do that..
