Beginners mistake. These are minus (-) not hyphen (‐) characters. </unicode-jibe>

You are being downvoted but apparently that is what /r/books is claiming the reason is: https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/2pcnv2/amazon_remove...
I guess it causes issues with bad screen readers.
"There could be no-one there, ..."
"...into a razor-filled muzzle ..."
"... sleep, muscular, brown-furred monster."
"... through her blood-soaked fur."
"... propelled backwards in mid-leap, ..."
"... the red-haired woman ..."
"... a tall, grey-haired man ..."
"mid-thirties"
"mother-in-law"
Not my style of fiction, but most of these don't offend my sense of grammar either. I think "mid-leap" is the only one that slightly jars.
