Well, then I may be out of the game.
I didn't check the fw ver (read this caveat after). But after I calmed down and accepted that the microsd doesn't "click" in or go all the way flush with the kobo frame (it sticks out a little, like a miniaturized expresscard on a laptop), I did all the power cycle stuff, it didn't see any of them.
Maybe b/c I didn't put the files in the top directory but in the folder of the top directory?
I'll check again the fw ver there and try some regular english epubs just to see if it won't recognize these "foreign seeming" epubs or if it's more general software issues.
Or even just my microSDHC. It's brand new and maybe the "lock/unlock" write protection is still a little unsure of itself. (It already tends to be insistently write protected on my pc, and needs lots of toggling and waiting of the lock switch in the adaptor, which is a common issue with any brand new sd cards, according to lexar and others, just fyi).
But I can't be counted on as a reliable tester as I have no full access to a kobo machine. And this just got a little involved. I'm bailing out.

Sure would be cool to have eastern right-to-left languages on a kobo, though.
