Reading Chinese content on e-ink was one of my main reason to use eDGe,

The Chinese epub books I downloaded from gutenberg.org showed only the
title in Chinese on the e-ink screen. Their Chinese contents were displayed as "????".

This seems to be an Adobe reader problem, appearing also on my PC,
while Mobipocket reader is able to display the same Chinese epub book.
I hope enTourage will find a solution to this problem soon, and/or
allow 3rd party Android applications to display content on the e-ink screen.

Thanks.
Hello, I have succeded to read Chinese characters on the Entourage (Microsoft word) files(not on the e-ink screen), but not yet in HTML files. The problem with the "????" is most probably the used Charset. Only when I use charset=windows-1252"> I get full Chinese Characters. I'm still experimenting with Chinese files and will you keep informed. I think .PDF files will be readable on the Ink screen.
