It does build for soft float, but unfortunately it's a keyboard problem. I don't have a Kindle Voyage anymore, so I can't make USB keyboard work on one. I did build a version for the 2015 Paperwhite because I have one around.

I tried AbiWord a long time ago (back in the days of Windows XP) when I was searching for alternative word processors. I ended up giving it a pass for two reasons: (1) the documents are extremely large (related to the second reason), and (2) I checked the format and it seems like every paragraph begins with all of the formatting for that paragraph. Due to this, changing the formatting was slow because when you made a change it had to update every single paragraph in the document. While it might not be an issue with short documents like a letter, it becomes an issue when you have a document that is many pages long.
