I'm interested in reading this thread, but my search skills failed me. I tried "kindle hyphenation" but couldn't find the thread you're referring to. Was "hyphenation" in the thread title? Additional keyword suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
I think it is this one https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=256131

i joined in as I was seeing a couple of recently bought books hyphenate when I did not want that to be happening. I was even going down the wrong route of looking for hidden soft hyphens , but it now seems that A. were just experimenting only with some books on some devices.

I hope that auto hyphenation is not going to become the new norm on Kindle, unless there's a user toggle to opt out of it.

That is not true for my Voyage. You can press 0.5 cm under the line marking the button. That is all.

Interesting, I can get a full cm below the mark on mine. Is there really that much variation?

I don't get anything just below the next page buttons, I have to be in the line. But between the last page and next page, between the dot and the line, I can click either forward or backward, depending on which line/dot I am closer to.

I mean right above the line for a centimeter I go forward, 1 cm below the dot I go back. There is no deadspot on my Voyage between dot and line. Its all haptic. I actually just found that out when Harry posted what he did. Just to see. So the dot is much bigger on mine than just a dot. But nothing above the dot.

I have page-back sensing a centimeter above the dots on mine. The area between the dots & lines on mine work the same as yours.

I just turned the Page Press on on my Voyage and tried it. I have to be pretty much right on the button to get a page turn. That's true above the page back button and below the next page button. It's true on the left and the right.

Between the buttons is a dead spot except when I get almost to the previous page button.

I just wish they had upgraded the Voyage with more Ram (and fixed the screen of course) and made it a bit more affordable...

What advantage do you think that having more RAM would impart to it? It already has double the amount of RAM that the old PW has (512MB vs. 256MB); the new PW has the same 512MB RAM that the Voyage has.

Ah, I was under the impression that the Voyage still had 256MB...
In that case: I wish they’d just fixed the screen and lowered the price of the Voyage. I'd have jumped at the 3G version for 199 Euros...

Another thing: does the new hyphenation apply to personal docs sent via mail as well? Will these be processed or at least, will docs newly uploaded get the hyphenation treatment?

What's wrong with the screen on the Voyage?

It looks perfect to me. Its like lightyears better than my PW1. My PW1 to be fair has a pretty mottled, splotchy screen though. And it has that milky window effect that made reading on it difficult with the font sometimes looking darker in some spots and lighter in others.

My Voyage is totally even and clear. Not sure how much better it could be on that score. I think my eyes have now reached the maximum of pixels they can see. .

Its also pretty fast, especially compared to the PW1.

As to price? Would I have loved to pay a little less? Sure, who wouldn't. But it is what it is. I need what I need and I need a Voyage over a PW.
I must read.

A few people are troubled by a top-to-bottom colour gradient on the Voyage's screen. It's probably there on all of them, but only a few people see it. I don't see it on mine, although I can demonstrate that it's there by photographing the screen and analysing the colours of the pixels.

I do not see it either and compared to my PW1 the screen is flawless.

I have it on mine, its not obviously noticable unless you look for it and I will admit I would be tempted to upgrade if they fix the issue with the next iteration
