Latest Kindle update may strip devices of this popular functionality

Amazon has rolled out several substantial updates to its Kindle e-readers in recent months, introducing some useful new features. In June, it released an update that added new spacing options for words, characters, and paragraphs. In August, it launched another update that introduced a new Assistive Reader feature to Kindles, which reads books aloud like an audiobook, along with a new font option that enlarges the Kindle’s user interface to improve visibility.
