The best you can do is to make sure that you have the correct language specified in both the OPF metadata and the HTML content of your book.

At least to me, it's happening all the time, as you can see on the attached photo.
Sadly, Amazon takes a lot of time to fix some issues. The weird is some people don't seem to have the same problem with their Kindles:

Can it be an issue with the english hyphenation dictionary? The portuguese kfx books are perfect.

Choosing left alignment does not prevent hyphenation. It will still be used to prevent unusually short lines of text.
If you are familiar with how the edit the source files you are converting, you can turn off hyphenation completely in all or part of the text using CSS. The property to set for this is:
-webkit-hyphens: none

I like hyphenation, specially in kfx files, but it makes no sense to hyphenate once the text is left aligned.
Sorry for venting about those issues. It's Amazon responsibility.
