The fact that it's just for Russia makes me think it has something to do with the Russian alphabet and presumably its handling of/in the FB2 format. Just a guess.
Which makes me wonder - how would my Iriver handle chinese characters? When I get around to testing the loading of fonts (see another thread not a thousand miles from here) I'll maybe include that in the test.

Same here. It appears to have more or less vanished from the market here in Sweden. But one thing I'm grateful for - it gave you the opportunity to use the word shonky, a new one for me, but very onomatopoeic. I'm going to add that to my list of adopted words. Thanks, Bran!
