I just want to correct this statement. In fact, the Sony Reader does have Unicode support, it just doesn't have full Unicode fonts. If you have a 500, you can install the "Cyrillic" fonts, and they do have the full Eastern European sets in them, I believe (not positive, but almost).
Whether you wish to bother with installing updates to your device for native fonts support, or you prefer to read books with embedded fonts (which usually page much slower) is totally up to you, of course.
