Hebrew is a Right To Left (RTL) language (like Arabic) and therefore needs a little different treatment.

I would like to post in this thread the current status of Hebrew support among various eReaders, reading applications and platforms. I'll try to update it from time to time.
If you have a device that is not listed here, you are welcome to check and post the results.

My main focus is on the ePub format. However, I also tested Kindle with mobi ebook...

Sample Hebrew ePub is attached here as well as a few screen captures of the expected results as seen with Calibre.
PocketBook devices have explocit support for Hebrew. You have even possibility to switch to user interface in Hebrew out of the box.
I will post printscreens later.
