Well I asked for estimated time not an expected date per se. Honestly I was expecting some tracking number for this bug report, and the reply was an email has been sent to the development team. Not providing any bug tracking system for Kindle customers is not any way better. Word Wise is great feature for non-native speakers and it was one of the reasons that made me buy Kindle ebooks before and Kindle e-reader now.

I found this feature best described as buggy or unpredictable as Eliy said before. Sometime it works for some hyphenated words and stops for other words in the middle of the line when you change font face, size or page orientation.

This is some generic CS person, someone from the Kindle programmers. Also, Amazon has never done something like that.
