That's an interesting question.

As an experiment, I just downloaded this book 三字經 in EPUB format onto my Sony Reader. I just picked the first one I found at the Gutenberg site.

My reader displays it as all question marks: ?????????.

I can't read Chinese, but I can view the document in my Firefox browser with the EPUBReader add-on, and I can see Chinese characters, so I believe the format is good. I just can't read it on my Sony Reader. I don't know about the Kobo.
