re: "the CyBook can only do left to right languages." .... most languages are left-to-right. Korean has funny compound characters, and chinese/japanese have thousands of characters, but they're still essentially left to right. The Arabic-like languages are the only ones I know of that are right to left.
Well, traditional Chinese writing is in columns from top to bottom and the columns are read from right to left. Although, this seems to be rarely used nowadays except in reprints of classical Chinese novels and poems. I you want to read that kind of texts you will most likely have some problems. I am not even sure if you can embed that into pdf, unless you save it as jpgs.
