I wonder if the azw3 files work with the Kindle's latest display engine? Specifically, can ragged-right be turned on? Are hyphenation hints embedded?

I don’t have a Kindle so haven’t tested, but I believe we build the AZW3 files from the epub2 ones, which have hyphenation baked in using the Python hyphenation library.
