Hi all,

I have a first generation Kindle Oasis and a Kindle Voyage. When the 5.9.2.0.1 update came for the Oasis, I noticed it changed the appearance of my standard font. I use Bookerly, smallest size, either unbolded or at the first bold level. After the update the font appeared smooshed. I compared the same book on the same setting to the Voyage and it was very noticeable. The Voyage updated automatically last evening and now the smooshed font appears on both.

I have a sideloaded book on my Oasis that won't use the new bolder settings, and it has the older font appearance.

Has anyone else noted this, and is there anything to be done, or is this just the way it is? I'm curious as to why it changed.
