If you’re not paying for something, it’s because you are the product.

No, The fee is CONTRACTUAL by the supplier (Publisher/Author) to deliver books via their network.

Is USPS Postage a 'Tax'? No, it is a delivery fee. (Is it outa control ? Oh boy! I remember 3cent stamps on letters to Grandma)
Amazon is not paying anything extra for the bandwidth used for a large eBook. So really, the fee is a scam.

Convert your ePub to KF8. Then use Polish books > Add soft hyphens and then you'll have hyphenation and no large gaps.

There is a bug in the Kindle firmware where sometimes the chosen side loaded font needs to be selected even though it already is. You get a sans-serif font instead. Go to the AA menu and select a different font and select the font you want. That fixes it.

Converting PDF is a nightmare. Don't do it.
