Calibre recognized the iriver Story and I dumped a bunch of Russian epubs onto my Story HD. Most of them were fine, a couple apparently didn't have the necessary font info inside, so in those few books most of the text was squares with Xs. An odd but okay thing was that in the main list the author and title were transliterated (Latin characters spelling out pseudo-Russian) but as soon as I opened and closed the book the author and title in the list were in Cyrillic. Anyhow, for me this graceful handling of Cyrillic is a very pleasant difference from my other ereaders. (My experience may reflect the USA versions, though. It's possible that the European versions of my other ereaders handled Cyrillic okay.)

I put onto the Story HD a copy of the Gutenberg Project epub of the Nicene Creed, in Greek and Latin. The Greek text is all fine. The Latin text was fine, too. :-)

FWIW my firmware version is 1.17.
