Hello,
I've received by cybook few days ago and as I'm Bulgarian I've tried to put some cyrilic books on it.

Current resluts are mediocre. It is possible to create book with Mobipocket Creator from TXT file or MSWord DOC file and as result book is readable. (Using UTF-8 setting in creator)

Simple putting TXT files in CYBOOK however does not want to work at all.
I've tried putting same TXT file in ANSI/UNICODE/UTF8/UNICODE Big Endian coded (all output formats supported by XP Notepad) files but none of the above when opened on reader is readable. Note that only ANSI one looks like book itself just symbols are not correct. But other format shows something that does not look like a book at all.

Internal fonts are quite capable of showing cyrilic books created by mobipocket.

Simple TXT file in ANSI encoding can be shown only by using some soft of heavily modified TTF file which contains UPPER HALF ASCII symbols replaced y cyrilic ones. Unfortunatelt I've no such font. May be I will try to create one for using it with my CYBOOK.
It is interesting as device itself should be capable of showing UNICODE TXT files as it supports UNICODE files and it is Linux under.
