interesting, I watched the video and saw the example with The Goblet of Fire, so I bought it just to see since I will get it eventually anyway. I see the same issue on my kindle with latest firmware. I checked the iOS app and it is the same way (?) and then I looked at the book on my voyage (some older version of firmware) and it is the same way. Slightly different is that the chapter and title are underlined as well. So, it does make me wonder if it is the version of the book? In other words, I wonder if the book had been downloaded at some time in the past it had the fancier titles and the latest versions of it downloaded do not?
Either way, it is annoying.

The Harry Potter example needs to be removed from the video because it's incorrect, That's a custom edit. So you cannot test it.

To be clear, the Harry Potter example is a custom edit by the user, so I would like to focus on the free sample of The Thursday Murder Club: A Novel (Thursday Murder Club Mysteries Book 5)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DPLW7YFX

I didn't expect everyone to focus so much on the Harry Potter example since I didn't even say which book it was, while i explicitly named all other examples.

Unfortunately, I can't remove the middle part of videos, I think that's a feature only available for bigger channels.

Ah, ok so I downloaded the sample of the Thursday Murder Club book. I see what you are saying now. On my kindle the Joyce is just some standard bolded font. On my iPhone kindle app it is the stylized font you show. Interestingly, if I hit read sample in my browser it is the standard bolded font like on the kindle device. Weird. Anyway, now this is something I wish I didn't see or know about lol.

Kindle Scribe 1st Gen lost ability to keep Newsstand articles

I downloaded the firmware for 5.19.3.0.1 and found that the "Keep" option to protect newsstand (periodicals) from being deleted no longer exists. Previously kept newsstand documents still hold the "Keep" status, but new documents can no longer be kept. I tried to copy the *.mbp1.bad_file to the new sdr folder of the new documents, but unfortunately the "Keep" status does not show up. Hopefully this is a bug that would be fixed in the next firmware release.

Get a video editor and remove the Harry Potter part. If you can't, you could remake the video without Harry Potter.
