Display of other non supported file formats

This procedure works for languages and fonts not supported by kindle. I import non-roman texts in unicode in word, set page size to 9 cm x12 cm, convert to pdf using cutepdf print utility. This method works fine for the present, though the file size is doubled. Waiting for downlodable unicode-font support for other languages, as this is a more elegant solution.

One learns new things every day. I still prefer the jetBook for .rtfs, but in a pinch...
