If the book was already downloaded and is in the same format, why would the font not look the same? Something about the operating system?
Apparently the update changed either the font itself or the way the renderer displays the font. If you want to call everything on your Kindle operating system, then the rendering app would be part of that system. In that case, yes, a change in that system is to blame.

I don't agree with allowing an app to be considered part of the operating system, but there is little sense in arguing about it. And depending on who you ask, you will get different opinions on where the cutoff is to the operating system.
