Just got my new silver 505 - After a couple of hours playing with the new toy - I really have to say - I'm impressed.
About the topic - with the first try I succeeded to import and open a book with Cyrillic /Bulgarian/ characters and the text showed exactly as it should have.
For now I do not use any kind of software to transfer the files from the PC to the device - just copy and past in the Books folder of the device.
I've converted the txt file into lrf filw using libris500 with the appropriate fonts. It took some time for the reader /approx. 5 min or little bit more for formatting/, but the text showed up really great. The spinning arrows weren't spinning while formatting... I don't know whether that's normal, or not, but still if you ignore the time /everything works just PERFECT/.
Now I see, I tried the same book/text, but this time not converted with libris500 - just plaint txt - and the device converted it - in fact the arrows were spinning this time and the convertion took seconds, BUT the text was all monkeys and unreadable things.
Therefore - with a convertion to lrf - everything works great - NO FLASHING, NO ADDITIONAL FONTS.
JUST COOL
