Are you writing about the ability to add your own custom fonts?

The Kindle app in Fire OS is very similar to the Kindle for Android app. The latest version is 14.10 released in August 2018 and corresponds to Kindle for Android version 8.10. The feature set is very similar to the Kindle reading apps on other platforms.

It lets you choose between a fairly large set of fonts, but does not allow you to add fonts, other than by embedding them within a book.

Allowing user installed fonts is a feature only recently added to the latest e-ink Kindle devices.
