I tried converting a text document containing Hebrew and Spanish to the Kindle format. The Spanish was readable, but the Hebrew was junk. Although I can read html in Hebrew on the Kindle, it does not let me read html documents that are stored locally. I contacted Amazon, and was informed that Hebrew is not currently supported on the Kindle, though they may be working on it. I can convert the document to pdf, which I CAN read on the Kindle, but then I can't use a dictionary for the Spanish, which is my goal in transferring the document. My question is: is there another digital reader (sony, barnes and noble, borders, whoever), which can handle Hebrew charset? I am NOT talking about iPad or a similar devices, as they are much too expensive, and of course any netbook and up can read the documents in multiple formats.
You can change the fonts on the kindle[1], so if that is the only problem with the hebrew, you can use the kindle reader.
The browser indeed refuses browsing file://, so you can install a local httpd[2] to browse local files.
You can install fbreader[3] which has some form of hebrew support, and is in general a better reader software than the kindle reader.
